The pharmacological assessment of single drugs and drug combinations in exercise-induced asthma

Abstract

The relative effectiveness of ephedrine, theophylline, hydroxyzine, and their combinations in relieving cycloergometer exercise-induced asthma were studied in 16 children and adolescents. Ephedrine had no effect on post-exercise asthma, hydroxyzine had weak effect on hastening recovery, while theophylline modified on the post-exercise response significantly. The three drugs together produced an additive effect superior to that of theohylline alone.
