Study of ipratropium bromide inhalation in stable asthma.

An open two weeks short term trial of Ipratropium Bromide (IB) inhalation (0.02 mg per dose) was carried out in 20 stable asthamatics to study its efficacy and safety. Early significant rise in PEFR (P < 0.001) and FEV1 (P < 0.05) was observed after 15 min of IB inhalation and reached significant peak (P < 0.01) after 1 hour which was persistent beyond three hours after IB inhalation. No side effects were observed. It was concluded that Ipratropium Bromide Imhalation is safe and has efficient bronchodilatory effect on short term basis in stable asthmatics.

Anti-tubercular treatment in patients with hepatitis.

Sixty seven patients with coexistent tuberculosis and hepatitis were given a 3 drug regimen of streptomycin (SM), isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH) and ethambutol (ETB) and observed for a period of 15 days. Total bilirubin as well as SGPT were repeated weekly and these showed a significant drop in a majority of patients when observed over this period. No patient developed any signs of fulminant hepatic failure. We conclude that a regimen of SM, INH and ETB can be given to patients who suffer from combined pathologies of pulmonary tuberculosis and active hepatitis without incurring the danger of increasing hepatocellular dysfunction/damage.
