Effect of oral and inhaled sodium cromoglycate in exercise-induced asthma.
Ten patients with bronchial asthma reacting with bronchoconstriction after exercise were studied to compare the effect of oral sodium cromoglycate against sodium cromoglycate inhalation and placebo. Only sodium cromoglycate inhalations protected against exercise-induced asthma. The effect of sodium cromoglycate seems to be a local action of mucosal surfaces.
