Abstract

Calcium glycerophosphate is found to be effective in treating and preventing a disease, disorder and/or condition of the respiratory system. The disease, disorder and/or condition is related to an obstructive or a restrictive condition of the respiratory airway. The disease, disorder and/or condition can be a respiratory airway inflammatory disease, a respiratory airway stenosis or a nasal cavity inflammatory disease, such as an asthma, a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an emphysema, a reactive airway disease (RADS), rhinitis, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, congestion, sinusitis, tonsillitis, or laryngitis, post-nasal drip (PND) and a related complication thereof, inflamed degranulating and non-degranulating mast cell activity, any irritation occasioning mucus secretion from goblet cells breathing difficulty, restriction, obstruction; airways constriction or closure or mucus interference with air passage; sleep apnea, snoring, inflammatory or non-inflammatory responses to an airborne or non-airborne allergen or irritant; nasal or non-nasal airway inflammation or irritation caused by a problem in any area of the body; and a physical damage to the respiratory system. Methods, compositions and devices are described for using calcium glycerophosphate to treat and prevent the disease, disorder and/or condition of the respiratory system.

Claims (2)

1. A method of treating rhinitis, allergic asthma or a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the respiratory system of the subject an effective amount of calcium glycerophosphate, wherein the calcium glycerophosphate is orally administered to the respiratory system of the subject in a composition formulated for oral administration in a dosage of about 440 μg to about 88 mg of the, calcium glycerophosphate per administration.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calcium glycerophosphate is administered to the respiratory system of the subject by a spray, a quick-dissolving tablet, an oral inhalation solution or suspension, a syrup, a mechanized intermittent fluid pulser, an atomizer, a vaporizer, or an insufflator.
