ABSTRACT
The bronchodilator actions of salbutamol and ipratropium bromide were compared in 30 established cases of bronchial asthma, before and after exercise. It was noticed that after exercise (brisk walk for 3 min.) the PFT values of FVC, PEFR and FEV-1, decreased remarkably from the basal values, the mean fall of 17.91%, 10.68% & 14.8% respectively was noticed. Salbutamol showed improvement in FVC, PEFR, FEV-1, of 20.86%, 15.96% & 17.98% respectively from basal values, while Ipratropium bromide showed improvement by 18.31%, 13.01% & 20.90% respectively. It was also noted that salbutamol is a better drug amongst smokers, patients with family history of bronchial asthma, and in younger age groups. Ipratropium bromide was better in elderly patients (> 40 yrs.) and in those with eosinophillia.
