  • Title: Anticholinergic treatment in airways diseases.
    Author: Flynn RA, Glynn DA, Kennedy MP.
    Journal: Adv Ther; 2009 Oct; 26(10):908-19. PubMed ID: 19967500.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of chronic airways diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma is increasing. They lead to symptoms such as a cough and shortness of breath, partially through bronchoconstriction. Inhaled anticholinergics are one of a number of treatments designed to treat bronchoconstriction in airways disease. Both short-acting and long-acting agents are now available and this review highlights their efficacy and adverse event profile in chronic airways diseases.
