  • Title: Prevention of fog-induced bronchospasm by nedocromil sodium.
    Author: Robuschi M, Vaghi A, Simone P, Bianco S.
    Journal: Clin Allergy; 1987 Jan; 17(1):69-74. PubMed ID: 3030581.
    Abstract:
    A single dose double-blind crossover study was performed to compare the efficacy of nedocromil sodium (4 mg) and placebo administered from pressurized aerosols against bronchoconstriction induced by the inhalation of ultrasonically nebulized distilled water (fog) in twelve asthmatic subjects. Neither active nor placebo pre-treatment produced any significant change in baseline FEV1 and SRaw. Nedocromil sodium significantly attenuated fog-induced falls in FEV1 (P less than 0.001) and increased specific airways resistance (SRaw, P less than 0.01). The results provide further evidence of the potential therapeutic usefulness of nedocromil sodium in the management of chronic obstructive airways disease.
