The utility of methacholine airway responsiveness measurements in evaluating anti-asthma drugs
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Measurements of airway responsiveness are frequently used to evaluate anti-asthma drugs.
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the utility of methacholine airway responsiveness measurements in evaluating anti-asthma medications, both in terms of a bronchoprotective effect and the ability to attenuate allergen-induced methacholine airway hyperresponsiveness.
