title: [Clinical evaluation of doxofylline sachets in a pediatric population].
abstract: Therapeutic efficacy and tolerability of doxofylline 200 mg sachets, were evaluated, in a pediatric population in comparison with placebo. After double blind randomization, 11 patients aged from 6 to 12 years, were treated for 14 consecutive days. Doxofylline was administered at the daily dose of 12 mg/kg in two times. In the doxofylline group the authors observed a significative improvement of the evaluated spirometric paramethers (FEV1, FCV, FEF, FMF, PEF, MVV); in the placebo group there were only casual modifications. None of the patients treated complained of any side effect.
