The authors compared in a prospective study the bronchodilatating and undesirable effects of combined inhalation treatment (phenoterol + ipratropium bromide) in the treatment of patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, using different dosages. The patients were divided at random into two groups--group one inhaled berodual sol 3.5 ml/day (i.e. 1.75 mg phenoteroli + 0.875 mg ipratropii bromidium), the second group had a dose of double size. During the trial the authors monitored the peak expiration rate, the heart and respiration rate, blood gases and the subjective state of dyspnoea, using a 10 cm line. By comparison of bronchodilatating and undesirable effects they reached the conclusion that a daily dose of 3.5 ml berodual sol. is sufficiently effective. Increasing the daily dose to 7 ml did not produce a greater therapeutic effect nor increase the risk of undesirable effects.
