Fifteen asthmatic subjects participated in a double-blind trial comparing the protective effects of inhaled verapamil, salbutamol, and saline against inhaled histamine. Inhaling verapamil between four repeated histamine inhalation tests produced no significant protection against histamine-induced bronchoconstriction, while there was significant protection with salbutamol (p less than 0.001). Inhaling verapamil before a single inhalation test produced limited but significant protection (p less than 0.05) compared with a saline control in eight asthmatic subjects. This small protective effect in the two-treatment study of eight asthmatics suggests that either the protective effect of verapamil is variable among subjects or a preceding histamine inhalation test blocks the verapamil effect.
