Osmohale ® in Ireland

Welcome to the Ireland homepage

The mannitol challenge test (Osmohale®) is an indirect osmotic bronchial challenge test that can be used to identify bronchial hyperresponsivesness, a key clinical feature of respiratory conditions such as asthma.

Osmohale is manufactured by Pharmaxis Ltd (Frenchs Forest, Sydney Australia) and is available as a standardised test kit containing pre-filled mannitol capsules and a hand held dry powder inhaler.

During a mannitol challenge test, the subject inhales increasing doses of mannitol with their lung function (forced expiratory volume in one second- FEV₁) measured after each dose to determine the level of bronchial hyperresponsiveness.

The mannitol challenge test should only be performed by a suitably trained healthcare professional. Please refer to the approved product information or summary of product characteristics for your country prior to performing this challenge test.
