Abstract
The efficacy of bronchodilator nebuliser solutions may be influenced b y the presence of preservatives. In a double blind, randomised, crosso ver study the effect of preservatives in determining the airway respon ses to 5 mg of terbutaline was studied in a group of 21 atopic asthmat ic patients. The presence of preservatives affected neither the bronch odilator action of terbutaline nor its protection against bronchoconst riction induced by histamine.
