Abstract
AIM: To observe the efficacy of omeprazole in combination with becotide spray in the management of gastroesophageal reflux asthma in children.
METHODS: Eighty-four children with gastroesophageal reflux asthma were given omeprazole (0.3-0.4 mg/kg) by oral administration, twice per day, and becotide spray (100 μg, 50 μg after 2 wk) by inhalation, three times per day. The therapy lasted 3 mo, and the symptoms were scored before and after treatment.
RESULTS: The pre-treatment and post-treatment scores of gastroesophageal reflux were 3.9 ± 1.0 and 1.6 ± 0.7, and the scores of asthma were 4.2 ± 1.0 and 2.4 ± 0.8. There were significant differences between before and after therapy in scores of gastroesophageal reflux and asthma (P < 0.05, 0.01).
CONCLUSION: Combination therapy with omeprazole and becotide spray has a remarkable curative effect in the management of gastroesophageal reflux asthma in children.
