Abstract:
We have studied the effect of a new long acting bronchodilator: CLENBUTEROL, in 10 patients suffering from chronic obstructive diseases. All patients received 1 tablet of Clenbuterol, then we measured the following parameters in each patient, 2 and 6 hours after the drug administration: VC (vital capacity), FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in the first second of forced expiration), FEV1 x 100/VC, Raw (airways resistance), RV (residual volume). In all patients, excepting one of them, we registered a modification of all or some of the parameters 2 hours after drug administration. The bronchodilator effect was still present at 6 hours after drug administration. This data suggest that Clenbuterol induced a significant and long acting improvement of chronic obstruction; this drug might offer the advantage of sustained effect in patients suffering from chronic bronchospastic obstruction.
