Study to Demonstrate Equivalence of Formoterol 12 and 24 µg Delivered Via Two Types of Single Dose Dry Powder Inhalers (Concept1 and Aerolizer)

This study is designed to demonstrate that formoterol 12µg and 24µg delivered by a new inhalation device (Concept1) are equivalent to the corresponding dose of formoterol delivered by the Aerolizer device in terms of efficacy, in patients with persistent asthma.
