Bronchoconstriction

New data from the phase 3 TYREE study demonstrate efficacy of a fixed-dose combination of budesonide and albuterol in a single pressurized metered-dose inhaler to prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in individuals with asthma.

About one-quarter of young elite athletes experienced exercise-induced bronchoconstriction and had evidence of epithelial damage, according to a Belgian study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
