Abstract

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, inhalation of the commercially available nebulized form of cromolyn sodium resulted in a significant decrease in forced midexpiratory flow rate between the 25th and 75th percentile points, equivalent to that observed for distilled water, in children with chronic asthma. We conclude that inhalation of the current hypotonic concentration of cromolyn sodium may be detrimental.
