title: [Analysis of selected spirometric parameters and results of therapy with nedocromil sodium in patients with asthma].
abstract: The effect of 12 weeks therapy with nedocromil sodium given as MDI-aerosol, 8 mg/daily in a group of 20 atopic asthmatic patients was studied. The selected spirometric parameters (PEF, FEV1, FVC, FEF25-75%, Raw) and clinical symptoms of bronchial asthma (dyspnoea, cough, sputum) were assessed. Additionally the percentage reduction of bronchodilators usage was obtained. A significant improvement was observed in spirometric parameters. A statistically significant reduction in clinical symptoms of bronchial asthma and bronchodilators usage was noted.
