Abstract

The effect of felodipine, a new selective calcium antagonist, was assessed on histamine and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) induced bronchoconstriction in 9 mild atopic asthmatics. Felodipine did not alter the baseline FEV1, but showed a small significant inhibitory effect upon histamine and AMP induced bronchoconstriction.
