The effect of Taleum (sodium cromoglycate) 1-mg inhalation aerosol in children with allergic asthma.

Usefulness and prophylactic effect of Taleum (sodium cromoglycate) inhalation aerosol (EGIS Pharmaceutical Works) were examined in 34 children aged 8 to 14 years, who suffered from extrinsic bronchial asthma. The changes in clinical symptoms and respiratory function parameters were compared to the result of therapy with Intal powder inhaled with the aid of a spinhaler. The children learned the inhalation of Taleum spray easily. The use of this prophylactic agent was more simple as compared to the powder capsule. Considering all examined parameters, the effectivity of Taleum proved to be similar to that of Intal capsule used as a reference drug.
