In 24 adult asthmatics the effects of clinically recommended doses of fenoterol (320 micrograms) and albuterol (180 micrograms) were compared to placebo in a double-blind, crossover trial. Bronchodilation in FEV1 was significantly greater than placebo for both active drugs: two hours on albuterol and five hours on fenoterol. Results of FEF25-75% were similar. There were no significant changes in pulse rate, blood pressure and electrocardiogram, but 11 patients had mild subjective side-effects on fenoterol. |
