bioavailability study of syn006, pulmicort pmdi and meptin air in healthy adult.

Conditions: Asthma; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Summary: budesonide + procaterol hfa mdi is a novel asthma product containing both budesonide and procaterol in a single inhaler. budesonide is a corticosteroid that treats underlying airway inflammation in asthma. procaterol is a direct acting sympathomimetic with predominantly beta-adrenoceptor stimulant activity selective to beta-2 receptors (a beta-2 agonist). it is used as a bronchodilator in the management of reversible airways obstructive pulmonary disease. budesonide and procaterol therefore have complementary effects, treating two different components of asthma.
