  • Masking: Quadruple

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Procaterol
Procaterol inhalation solution 50 micro g per 0.5 mL diluted in 2mL of NaCl 0.9%, so that the volume of the inhalation solution will be similar to that of the comparator drug. The nebule solution will be administered 3 times, i.e. at times 0, 20 and 40 minutes.
Active Comparator: Salbultamol
Salbultamol inhalation solution for nebulization containing 2.5 mg in 2.5 mL aqueous solution. The nebule solution will be administered 3 times, i.e. at times 0, 20 and 40 minutes.
