Composition for improving lung function comprising activated carbon containing adsorbed iodine and / or adsorbed iodide salt and sodium / iodide symporter inhibitor

摘要

Pharmaceutical compositions for improving lung function in the lungs of humans or animals suffering from airway obstruction such as COPD or asthma are provided. The pharmaceutical composition comprises a pharmacologically effective amount of activated carbon comprising adsorbed iodine and / or adsorbed iodide salt and a sodium / iodide cotransporter inhibitor such as perchlorate. Further provided are methods for improving lung function in the lungs of humans or animals suffering from airway obstruction such as COPD or asthma. The method comprises the steps of administering a pharmacologically effective amount of activated charcoal comprising adsorbed iodine and / or adsorbed iodide salt and a pharmacologically effective amount of adsorbed iodine and / or adsorbed iodide salt. Administering a sodium / iodide symporter inhibitor such as perchlorate in connection with administration of activated carbon. [Selection figure] None
