  • Title: Efficacy of orally administered salbutamol and theophylline in pre-schoolchildren with asthma.
    Author: Groggins RC, Lenney W, Milner AD, Stokes GM.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1980 Mar; 55(3):204-6. PubMed ID: 6992715.
    Abstract:
    Oral administration of salbutamol and theophylline has been shown to be effective in relieving bronchoconstriction in asthmatic children aged between 3 and 5 years. Changes in respiratory function were monitored using a Wright's low range peak flow meter and a modification of the forced oscillation technique. A combination of both drugs in half doses was as effective as either alone. Nebulised salbutamol produced considerable further improvement in lung function.
