  • Title: [Assessment of respiratory function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases treated with budesonide].
    Author: Kozak-Szkopek E.
    Journal: Pneumonol Alergol Pol; 1995; 63(9-10):532-8. PubMed ID: 8620175.
    Abstract:
    The aim of the study was to carry out assessment of the respiratory function of patients with COPD undergoing a three month (600 microgram) treatment with an inhaled steroid--Budesonide. This was a double blind study carried out on 57 patients. During treatment with Budesonide a clinical improvement was seen. Respiratory function parameters did not alter throughout the 3 month treatment period, although bronchial reactivity diminished. Side effects were seen only in 3 patients--in all it was dysphonia. It seems that Budesonide can be added to other treatment protocols in patients with exacerbations of chronic bronchitis.
