[Treatment of seasonal asthmatic symptoms. A multicentre trial to compare the effects of ketotifen and disodium cromoglycate (author's transl)]

Abstract

A randomized multicentre trial was done to investigate the protective effects of ketotifen and disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) in the therapy of bronchial asthma. 236 patients with seasonal asthmatic symptoms were treated and controlled in the summer of 1978. Both drugs showed a significant improvement of the lung function and a marked reduction of asthmatic symptoms, cough and expectoration.
