One hundred seven prescribers were aware of the drug‐disease interaction of the asthma or COPD co‐morbidity when initiating the NS β‐blocker, and 46 were not. From these, 40 prescribers did not consider the contraindication to be relevant. For 299 patients, medication surveillance signals ...

Alternatively, beta-blockers can be used. A noncardioselective beta-blocker, such as propranolol, can also prevent the orthostatic hypotension associated with alpha-blockade (=-=Cleophas and Kauw 1988-=-). Atenolol may be preferable in patients with asthma or diabetes because it is relatively ...
Timolol maleate is a nonspecific beta blocker used for reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in glaucoma. Timolol maleate is absorbed systemically and is contraindicated in asthmatic patients. This study is focused to deliver Timolol maleate by a water/oil microemulsion to extend the time of ...

Beta (β)-blockers are widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease but are well recognised for causing bronchoconstriction in asthmatic subjects. The third-generation cardio-selective β-blocker celiprolol is a selective β-adrenergic blocking agent with β-agonist properties and would ...
