Abstract
Aim:
Assessment of the effect of a new Russian selective sympathomimetic salben (powder for inhalations) on bronchial secretion viscosity and adhesion.
Materials And Methods:
Salben or placebo (sodium bensoate) were given to 82 and 30 patients (control) with bronchial asthma, respectively. The response was assessed by clinical, laboratory and instrumental findings.
Results:
A statistically significant (p < 0.05) reduction of the viscosity and adhesion (by 15 and 20%, respectively) was noted in the salben group which also demonstrated improved external respiration.
Conclusion:
Salben induced positive effect on bronchial secretion viscosity and adhesion.
