Background: Measurements of airway responsiveness are frequently used to evaluate anti-asthma drugs.Objective: This study investigated the utility of methacholine airway responsiveness measurements in evaluating anti-asthma medications, both in terms of a bronchoprotective effect and the ability to attenuate allergen-induced methacholine airway hyperresponsiveness.Methods: Methacholine airway responsiveness was measured as PC20 on two occasions (separated by 35 +/- 17 days, mean +/- SD) in 40 subjects with mild, stable asthma. Additional subjects had PC20 measurements made before and af ter administration of either inhaled salbutamol (200 mu g) (n = 20) or allergen inhalation challenge (n = 31).Results: The reproducibility of the methacholi...
