After outlining the molecular principle of action found to be common to the various individual effects, the results of previous clinical studies are then presented. In private studies using various dosages. a reduction in such symptoms as coughing., dyspnea, and susceptibility to infection could be observed as clinical effects. A long-term study over a period of several years was initiated, using a daily dosage of 2 x 15 mg. of phenylpropane derivatives.
