Further studies on the effect of oral doxantrazole on allergen-induced bronchospasm

Abstract

The protective effect of oral doxantrazole on allergen-induced bronchoconstriction in man has been tested in two different treatment schedules. A single administration of 200 mg or 400 mg doxantrazole did not result in significant protection for a group of 10 patients. Only two patients after 200 mg, and three patients after 400 mg received meaningful protection. A 14-day period of treatment with three times 400 mg doxantrazole per day had no significant different effect compared with placebo treatment on allergen-induced broncho-constriction.
