Zusammenfassung:A study was carried out in 40 patients with bronchial asthma to assess the therapeutic effect of co-dergocrine ('Hydergine'), an alpha-adrenergic receptor blocking agent, when added to their standard treatment with a beta-adrenergic receptor stimulant and aminophylline. Co-dergocrine administration (3 to 6 mg per day) brought about marked improvement in 25% and an improvement in 55% of the patients. The results suggest that co-dergocrine could be a useful drug when combined with other bronchodilators in the treatment of bronchial asthma
