title: [Effect of nedocromil sodium on bronchial reactivity, selected lung function tests and demand for glucocorticosteroid inhalation in patients with bronchial asthma].
abstract: In a group of 14 patients with non-atopic asthma the effect on nedocromil sodium (8 mg/day) on bronchial reactivity, lung function parameters and doses of glucocorticosteroid in inhalation was studied. There was the significant reduction in beclomethasone doses, a rise in FEV1, FEF25-75 and decrease of PC20 histamine during 6 weeks of nedocromil therapy.
