In the pharmacological therapy of obstructive airway syndromes, a combined therapy with drugs of different effective principles often is necessary. Compared to systemic therapy, equal effects with less substance are obtained by application of the medication as an aerosol. In patients suffering from obstructive airway syndromes, body plethysmographic measures of the lung function were made after inhalation of theophylline as an aerosol, given in different doses. At the same time serum levels of theophylline were measured. Results are reported.
