Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was designed to examine the effectiveness of a breath-operated albuterol inhaler in asthma patients who have difficulty using their standard "press-and-breathe" inhaler.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This was a single-center, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, 2-period, 2-sequence, single dose-dose, crossover comparison of the ability of Albuterol BOI-HFA to produce bronchodilation relative to that produced by to albuterol MDI-HFA in at least 12 asthmatics with poor inhaler coordinating ability.
