    Author: Butorov SI, Muntianu VI.
    Journal: Klin Med (Mosk); 2007; 85(5):43-7. PubMed ID: 17665604.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of long-term application of fenspiride, an anti-inflammatory drug, in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) under outpatient conditions. The drug was studied on 24 COPD patients. Fenspiride application resulted in improvement in bronchoobstructive syndrome and external respiration parameters, as well as a significant increase in exercise tolerance. In patients with stable stage I COPD, the use of fenspiride as a part of therapeutic regimen leads to better clinical results than in stage II patients. Long-term application of fenspiride in medium therapeutic doses under outpatient conditions is associated with positive clinical effects and leads to significant improvement in quality of life.
