    Notes: The bronchospasmolytic effects of 40 μg ipratropium bromide (Atrovent®) given either as an aerosol (2 puffs of 20 μg) or as a powder inhalation were compared in a double-blind cross-over study. Following a randomisation list the drug was given on 2 successive days to 20 patients with stable bronchospasm in whom it had previously been shown that the bronchial obstruction was reversible after administration of 40 μg ipratropium bromide as an aerosol (with an increase over- the baseline value of the FEV1 of at least 15% 1 h after drug administration). The effects of the two presentations of ipratropium bromide were followed by respiratory function tests from 15 min to 6 h after administration of the drug. With both formulations excellent bronchospasmolytic effects were noted in each of the parameters measured. The peak of the effects was noted approximately 1 h alter the inhalations. Six hours later there was still a significant improvement in comparison with the baseline values. There was no significant difference between the results with the two different formulations. Inhalation powder of ipratropium bromide was well tolerated and there were no complaints of irritation or coughing. It would appear, therefore, to be a valuable alternative to the pressure aerosol.

    Notes: Summary UCB JO28 ([2-[2-[4-(diphenylmethylene)-l-piperidinyl] ethoxy] ethoxy] acetic acid, hydrochloride) is derived from diphenylmethylene piperidine. Animal experiments have shown that it has spasmolytic properties for smooth muscle, particularly in the bronchi, as well as anti-Hl, anticholinergic and anti-serotonin activities. The degree of protection by JO28 against histamine and methacholine-induced bronchospasm has been investigated in 20 asthmatic patients with serious airways hyper-reactivity. Protection against histamine-induced bronchospasm was almost complete in 11 out of 12 patients, whereas protection against methacholine-induced bronchospasm, although clearly present in seven of eight patients, was less marked.

    Notes: Summary In a double-blind cross-over study 20 patients with reversible airways obstruction were treated either with conventional 4 mg tablets of salbutamol a.i.d., or 8 mg controlled release (CR) tablets of salbutamol b.d. Each treatment was given for 2 weeks. The morning PEFR was significantly higher with the CR tablets (p〈0.05) but although the evening PEFR was also better the difference was not significant. Wheeze was significantly lower (p〈0.05) and extra “rescue” inhalation of bronchodilators was required less often and on fewer occasions during treatment with the CR tablets. Comparison of the 12-h mean plasma salbutamol profile showed a peak and trough every 6 h with the standard tablets, and a flatter profile with a single, lower and delayed peak during the 12 h between CR tablets. Although the minimum and average plasma salbutamol levels were similar in the groups on the two preparations, the maximum plasma level was significantly lower and there was significantly less fluctuation on CR tablets (p〈0.02). The CR and standard tablets had equivalent bio-availability.
