We studied the disposition of inhaled salbutamol in adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF) and compared it with the pharmacokinetics of the drug given by the intravenous and inhaled routes in healthy adults. After inhalation of salbutamol, CF patients had a significantly larger area under the concentration-time curve derived from amounts of drug in the systemic circulation. The differences in serum concentration of salbutamol were not reflected in differences in change of heart rate. We conclude that the rate and extent of pulmonary absorption of inhaled salbutamol in patients with CF differ from those in healthy adults.

D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.
