Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Post-dose PD20 which is a provocative dose (PD) of methacholine challenge agent
required to reduce the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) by 20%
following administration of differing doses of Albuterol or Placebo inhalation
o The 20% reduction in FEV1 is determined relative to saline FEV1 measured
before the Placebo or Albuterol administration 
Post dose at Period 1, 2, 3, and 4 (Time frame: 15-min after last inhalation of study treatment] 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Post-dose PC20 which is a provocative concentration (PC) of methacholine challenge
agent required to reduce the FEV1 by 20% following administration of differing doses
of Albuterol or Placebo inhalation 
Post dose at Period 1, 2, 3, and 4 a total of approximately 4 weeks.
