Regular Use Effect of Inhaled Ipratropium Bromide on Airway Responsiveness to Methacholine in Well-controlled Asthma

March 25, 2020 updated by: Don Cockcroft, University of Saskatchewan
Study is looking at the development of tolerance to methacholine following regular use of ipratropium bromide in mild asthmatics.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study is being conducted people with well controlled (mild) asthma to determine if ipratropium bromide taken three times daily for six days (i.e. 2 puffs in the morning, 2 puffs in the afternoon and 2 puffs in the evening) followed by a final dose on the morning of day 7 reduces the effectiveness of this medication on blocking the effect of methacholine challenge.
