In a double‐blind double‐placebo study 10 asthmatics exercised on a treadmill after treatment for 1 week with placebo, or ketotifen 1 mg twice daily, or SCG 10 mg four times daily. The post‐exercise percentage fall in FEV 1 after SCG but not after ketotifen was significantly smaller than after placebo. A 1‐week treatment with SCG but not ketotifen protected against EIA.
