IPCRG Opinion 1
Opinion sheet on spirometry (CCL "Some Rights Reserved")
Spirometry is the gold standard for the diagnosis, assessment and monitoring of COPD, and may assist the diagnosis of asthma. It can also contribute to the diagnosis of other causes of dyspnoea. Click here for PDF document. Click here for Turkish version. Click here for Greek version.
IPCRG Opinion 2
Theophylline Opinion Sheet (CCL "Some Rights Reserved")
Theophylline, usually administered orally, is an effective bronchodilator which may be used in the management of both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is widely available, and less expensive than many other bronchodilators. However, theophylline can be a difficult drug to use safely. Click here for PDF document.
