Ipratropium bromide in children with asthma.

N P Mann, E J Hiller
PMCID: PMC459250  PMID: 6461943

Abstract

Eighteen children between 6 and 14 years of age with perennial asthma were studied over two four-week treatment periods. Ipratropium bromide, given in addition to their current treatment, was compared with placebo using a double-blind crossover technique. The period of treatment with ipratropium was associated with a significant reduction in symptoms during both day and night and significantly higher morning peak expiratory flow rates.
