title: A comparative assessment of three bronchodilator preparations in general practice.
abstract: Phyllocontin Continus tablets and Ventolin Spandets were compared in a crossover study in eighteen patients with reversible airways obstruction. Results showed that Phyllocontin Continus tablets produced a highly significant (p less than 0.002) improvement in PEFR compared with Ventolin Spandets. A further comparison of Phyllocontin Continus tablets and Choledyl tablets in nineteen patients with reversible airways obstruction showed that Phyllocontin Continus tablets brought about a greater improvement in PEFR and gave better protection from breathlessness than Choledyl tablets.
