CLINICAL EVALUATION OF ΤΗΕ EFFECTIVENESS OF ΤΗΕ COMBINATION OF IPRATROPIUM AND SALBUTAMOL ΙΝ ΤΗΕ TREATMENT OF ASTHMA AND COPD
Abstract
The intent of this study is the eνaluation of the effectiνeness of one anticholinergic in combination with one beta2 adrenergic agent, per breath, whith metered dose aerosol in the treatment of asthma and COPD.
