Wolker's Institute of Respiratory Diseases, Tatranská Polianka, Czechoslovakia.

The protective effect of Berotec, Berodual and Atrovent (Boehringer-Ingelheim) were compared in asthmatics, before inducing airways obstruction with acetylcholine. Three groups (8 patients in each) were chosen. They were given two doses of the above drugs, from originally packed under pressure bottles, 30 minutes before acetylcholine inhalation. All the drugs provided sufficient protection against the induced acetylcholine obstruction of airways. No significant differences were found in protective effect.

D009241	Ipratropium	A muscarinic antagonist structurally related to ATROPINE but often considered safer and more effective for inhalation use. It is used for various bronchial disorders, in rhinitis, and as an antiarrhythmic.
