OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy of Fluticasone inhalation combined with Jinacon (JNC) orally taken in treating patients of chronic asthma (CA) of moderate degree. METHODS: Seventy-two CA patients were divided into three groups randomly and treated with Fluticasone inhalation combined with JNC, Fluticasone inhalation alone and JNC alone respectively for 4 weeks. The changes of clinical symptoms, airway reactivity and pulmonary function after treatment were observed. RESULTS: The clinical symptoms, pulmonary function and airway hyper-reactivity were improved in all the three groups after treatment (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), but the improvement was more significant in the group treated with the combined therapy (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Fluticasone inhalation combined with JNC orally taken is an effective therapy in treating patients of chronic asthma of moderate degree.
