Koffein gegen Asthma

Kaffee als Medikament? Entgegen oft und gern wiederholter Behauptungen, Koffein sei gesundheitsschädigend, gibt es auch Positives über den anregenden Bestandteil des Kaffees zu vermelden.
Count on caffeine in a pinch. You're out in the wilderness and suddenly realize that you left your inhaler at home. What do you do if you feel an attack coming on? Head for the coffee pot. "A couple of cups of strong coffee will have a beneficial effect on asthma," says allergist Allan Becker, M.D., assistant professor of medicine at the University of Manitoba, who tested the effects of caffeine on asthma.

Was hier das Doctor's Book of Home Remedies (neben vielen anderen lesenswerten Tipps für Asthmapatienten) empfiehlt, ist keine allzu neue Erkenntnis, aber nach und nach macht man sich doch daran, die Wirkung des Koffeins auf Asthma genauer zu erforschen.

Koffein ist ein enger Verwandter von Theophyllin, einem Wirkstoff, der in Asthmamedikamenten Verwendung findet. Koffein führt zu einer milden Entkrampfung, Entspannung und Erweiterung der Atemwege. Natürlich kann Koffein nicht mit einem entzündungshemmenden Medikament verglichen werden und sollte dieses auch nicht ersetzen, aber Kaffee verbessert die Lungenfunktion für etwa 2 bis 4 Stunden merklich.

Ein Abstract der zugehörigen Studie ist hier zu lesen.
