Adrenergic beta-agonists (beta-agonists) are "drugs that selectively bind to and activate beta-adrenergic receptors."[1]
Medical uses
Asthma
- See Asthma
Among patients with asthma, LABAs, tend to increase serious adverse effects and mortality. This harm is reduced, but not definitely eliminated, when LABAs are combined with corticosteroids.[3]
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Among patients with COPD, reduction in mortality may not occur unless LABAs are combined with corticosteroids.[4]
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.[5] They might be safe in asthma as long as corticosteroids are used. According to a meta-analyses 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.[6][3] There are two major randomized controlled trials of LABAs. The SNS study compared salmeterol to salbutamol[7] while the SMART study compared salmeterol to placebo.[2]
The varying response to beta adrenergic agonists in African Americans may be due to a polymorphism in African-American patients of the G protein–coupled cell surface receptor kinase (GRK5) that confers a natural "genetic beta-blockade".[8]
