Curative Effect of Chuankezhi Injection Combined with Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate Powder for Inhalation in the Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the efficacy of Chuankezhi injection combined with budesonide and formoterol fumarate powder for inhalation in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) . Methods:Totally 120 patients with COPD were ran-domly divided into two groupsthe observation group inhaled budesonide and formoterol fumarate powder for inhalation combined with intramuscular injection of Chuankezhi injection, and the control group inhaled budesonide and formoterol fumarate powder for inhala-tion. The treatment course was 28 days. The pulmonary function indices [ FEV1% expected value, FEV1 /FVC, 6 min walking dis-tance (6MWD)], the times of acute exacerbation and the adverse drug reactions during the treatment were observed and compared be-tween the two groups. Results:After the treatment, the lung function and 6MWD were improved in the two groups, and the improve-ment of FEV1% expected value in the treatment group was more obvious than that in the control group [(59. 7+12. 1)% vs (49. 8+11. 3)%, P<0. 05]. The number of patients with at least once of acute exacerbation was significantly reduced in the treatment group when compared with that in the control group (35% vs 62%, P<0. 01). The incidence of adverse drug reactions in the two groups showed no significant difference. Conclusion:Chuankezhi injection combined with budesonide and formoterol fumarate powder for in-halation can notably improve the lung function in the patients with COPD and reduce the times of acute exacerbation without effect on the incidence of adverse drug reactions.
