Title: The Effects of Ipratropium Bromide and Fenoterol Nebulizer Solutions in Children with Asthma
Abstract: The effects of nebulized solutions of ipratropium bromide and fenoterol combined were compared with the response to either preparation alone in single dose and longer-term administration in children who had asthma. The combination produced a slightly greater response than either alone, especially in peak expiratory flow. Over a 1-month period, there were no significant differences in symptom scores or lung function parameters between the combination of ipratropium bromide and fenoterol and fenoterol alone in a group of children who had asthma. It is possible that the addition of ipratropium bromide to a sympathomimetic drug may be useful in a subgroup of asthmatics, particularly if there is a considerable large airway contribution to bronchial narrowing.
