title: [Effectiveness and tolerance of aerosol disodium cromoglycate in children with bronchial asthma].
abstract: Thirteen centres studied the efficacy and safety of nebulized cromolyn solution in 53 asthmatic children (36 m., 17 f.; mean age 4.8 +/- 1.7 years). During a fiveweek treatment period a significant reduction of asthmatic symptoms was observed by investigators daily symptom scores, as assessed by the parents, also showed a significant improvement during treatment period. In addition, there was also a marked decrease in the use of other anti-asthmatic medication (beta 2-sympathomimetics, theophylline and antihistamines). There were no side effects of nebulized cromolyn solution treatment.
