OBJECTIVE Inhaled mannitol induces both bronchoconstriction and cough. Nedocromil sodium greatly attenuates mannitol-induced bronchoconstriction. Knowledge about the effect of nedocromil on mannitol-provoked cough might, therefore, clarify the mechanisms of this response. METHODS Inhalation challenges with mannitol powder were performed after inhalation of 8 mg of nedocromil or its placebo in 24 subjects with asthma. The study was double-blind, randomised, and placebo-controlled. The mannitol-provoked coughs were manually recorded and the mannitol-induced bronchoconstriction was measured with a spirometer. RESULTS The cumulative dose of mannitol that provoked at least two coughs tended to be higher on the nedocromil day than on the placebo day (34 (22--53) mg vs 26 (18--37) mg, P=0.051). The cumulative number of coughs per dose of mannitol was slightly, but significantly, lower on the nedocromil than on the placebo day (4.2 (2.8--6.3) coughs/100 mg vs 6.1 (4.0--9.4) coughs/100 mg, P=0.037). However, when analysed on a constant-dose basis, nedocromil provided no protection for coughing (-1% protection), whereas the protection for bronchoconstriction was clear (55% protection). CONCLUSIONS Nedocromil strongly attenuates mannitol-induced bronchoconstriction but has a negligible effect on mannitol-provoked cough. Therefore, these responses seem to have different pathways in asthma. Recording of both provoked coughs and induced bronchoconstriction during mannitol challenge may provide supplementary information about a patient's disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008353 Mannitol A diuretic and renal diagnostic aid related to sorbitol. It has little significant energy value as it is largely eliminated from the body before any metabolism can take place. It can be used to treat oliguria associated with kidney failure or other manifestations of inadequate renal function and has been used for determination of glomerular filtration rate. Mannitol is also commonly used as a research tool in cell biological studies, usually to control osmolarity. (L)-Mannitol,Osmitrol,Osmofundin

D001985 Bronchial Provocation Tests Tests involving inhalation of allergens (nebulized or in dust form), nebulized pharmacologically active solutions (e.g., histamine, methacholine), or control solutions, followed by assessment of respiratory function.

D003371 Cough A sudden, audible expulsion of air from the lungs through a partially closed glottis, preceded by inhalation. It is a protective response that serves to clear the trachea, bronchi, and/or lungs of irritants and secretions, or to prevent aspiration of foreign materials into the lungs. Coughs
