title: Subjective and objective changes noted by patients with bronchial asthma taking slow-release aminophylline.
abstract: The authors describe a placebo controlled trial of a slow-release form of aminophylline in a total of twenty asthmatic patients. The data resulting from this work confirmed the fact that the aminophylline is a bronchodilator which improves mean peak flow rate and reduces the intake of beta-agonist drugs in the majority of asthmatic patients.
