Comparing the inhalation of methacholine chloride and methacholine for methacholine challenge testing
The data indicated that methacholine chloride yielded a higher positive test rate than methacholine in MCT. Given that only mild adverse symptoms of chest tightness and cough were observed, with no serious adverse events reported, it represents a safe and effective alternative for clinical BHR assessment.
