Abstract:
At present there is no study indicating that any drug can decrease "primary hyperreactivity". If the frequency of asthma attacks can be lowered this seems to cause a decrease of the induced (?) hyperreactivity. This is proven for DCG and gold and may also be true for steroids and perhaps for other effective anti-asthmatic drugs. The mechanism is probably a decrease of the inflammatory reaction in the bronchial mucosa due to less frequent and less severe asthma attacks.
