Aims and objectives: The basic aim of the study is to measure the level of antioxidants in because inhalation of hydrogen gas which reduces oxidative stress in asthmatic patients. Methodology of the study: This study was conducted at DHQ hospital Pakpattan Sharif during 2018 to 2019. All the data was collected according to the rules and regulations of authority. The data was collected from both genders which suffer from asthma. The blood was drawn from all patients for further analysis of antioxidants. Results: Mean values of investigated parameters and differences in the values between, before and after inhalation of hydrogen gas. The values are expressed in terms of mean± SD. According to the analysis, the level of SOD, MDA and GSH increase as compared to normal level. But the level of catalases decreased with the value of 0.43±0.39. Conclusion: It is concluded that inhalation of hydrogen gas can imbalance the level of antioxidants in the blood in asthmatic patients. More clinical trials are needed to prove the clinical safety of its use and the protective effects of hydrogen gas at the bedside.
