title: [Experiences with depot-ACTH (Tetracosactide) in bronchial obstruction].
abstract: The difficulties of long term treatment of chronic obstructive lung disease demand knowledge and use of every reasonable therapeutic regimen. In this study effectivity and side effects of Depot-ACTH (Tetracosactid) are presented. The main indications for the use of Depot-ACTH seem to be the uneffectiveness of usual therapy and the attempt of avoiding or reducing corticosteroids. The study confirms the excellent usefulness of Depot-ACTH which did not diminish during long-term application. The side effects are rare and mostly inferior. Only allergic reactions may be serious and must be accounted for.
