title: [Bronchodilator effects of an atropinic compound: oxitropium pressurized aerosol. Comparison with theophylline in asthma].
abstract: Oxitropium bromide (Tersigat pressurized aerosol) is a new anticholinergic agent. Two puffs of 100 micrograms given in 27 adult patients with asthma produced a 33% mean increase in FEVI, significantly bigger than the 20.9% increase obtained by an intra-muscular injection of theophylline (240 mg) in the same patients.
