Adrenergic beta-agonists (beta-agonists) are "drugs that selectively bind to and activate beta-adrenergic receptors."[1]
Medical uses
Asthma
- See asthma
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Among patients with COPD, reduction in mortality may not occur unless LABAs are combined with corticosteroids.[2]
Drug toxicity
Long acting adrenergic beta-agonists (LABA) associated with may adverse outcomes among patients with asthma when used without corticosteroids and maybe among African American patients.[3] They might be safe in asthma as long as corticosteroids are used. According to a meta-analysis by the Cochrane Collaboration, when used with corticosteroids the relative risk for asthma-related death is increased at 1.34 although this increase was not statistically significant with a confidence interval of 0.30 to 5.97.[4]
