The authors compared the responses of patients with atopic asthma to t
wo cromolyn drugs of different generations, tailed and intal. As shown
by clinical, allergological and immunological findings, tailed (sodiu
m nedocromil) compared to intal is more active against atopical bronch
ial asthma complicated by obstructive bronchitis. It can more efficien
tly reduce specific and nonspecific bronchial hyperreactivity, is more
potent against inflammation. Due to tailed, the need in glucocorticoi
d inhalation lowered, it became possible to induce a prolonged remissi
on.
