Use of short-acting β(2)-agonists in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during treatment with long-acting β(2)-agonists is recommended as needed, but its effectiveness is unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess the additional bronchodilating effect of increasing doses of salbutamol during acute and chronic treatment with formoterol in patients with COPD.
