famotidine and Asthma

famotidine has been researched along with Asthma in 3 studies

Famotidine: A competitive histamine H2-receptor antagonist. Its main pharmacodynamic effect is the inhibition of gastric secretion.

Asthma: A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (RESPIRATORY HYPERSENSITIVITY), airway INFLAMMATION, and intermittent AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, WHEEZING, and dyspnea (DYSPNEA, PAROXYSMAL).

"High levels of histamine can be found in the airways of asthma patients."3.70Histamine affects interleukin-4, interleukin-5, and interferon-gamma production by human T cell clones from the airways and blood. ( Bast, A; Bruinier, B; Hol, BE; Jansen, HM; Krouwels, FH; Lutter, R; Out, TA, 1998)
"It is not clear in which cases GERD should be suspected or how effective the GERD therapy is in treating the asthma."1.35[Gastroesophageal reflux disease in preschool children with asthma]. ( Doi, S; Kameda, M; Nishikido, T; Takamatu, I; Yoshida, Y, 2008)
