Abstract

The bronchodilatory activity of Berodual in comparison to Fenoterol and Ipratropium Bromide was investigated in a group of 59 children aged 8-15 years, suffering from mild bronchial asthma in a symptoms-free period. The relaxing activity was monitored dynamically by means of the analysis of flow-volume curve measurements. We have found that the bronchodilatory activity of Berodual was faster, stronger and longer in comparison to Fenoterol and Ipratropium Bromide.
