Exercise-induced asthma: In exercise-induced asthma,cooling and drying of the airway promotes the generation of leuko-trienes,resulting in bronchoconstriction.Although protection varies from complete to very little,the antileukotrienes develop no tolerance and may benefit patients who want to exercise or whose jobs require exercise under cold,dry conditions without the use of short-acting rescue F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 agonists.Accolate may interact with his theophylline.
