title: [Results of 30 days and 12 months treatment with salmeterol in patients with asthma and COPD].
abstract: 148 outpatients with asthma and COPD were treated with inhaled steroids and salmeterol. 48 patients were estimated after 30 days treatment and other 100, who accepted salmeterol after 1 year treating. In these two groups of patients inhalations of other beta-mimethics, dyspnoe during the nights and early mornings, change of FEV1, side effects and acceptation of salmeterol were observed. After 1 months of treatment in 45% and after 1 year in 73% increase of FEV1 were noticed. In asthma group in 66% and in 15% COPD patients increase of MEV50 was observed. After 30 days 22% asthma patients and 30% COPD patients did not accept salmeterol. 6 persons had adverse effects/tachycardia, sore throat, exacerbation of dyspnoe/. After 12 months 87% accepted treatment with salmeterol. In 13 cases therapy with salmeterol was stopped, because results were poor.
