Quantifying the Risk of Beta-Blockers and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Asthma
Beta-blockers and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are often avoided in asthma over risk of bronchospasm which may vary according to drug selectivity and duration of administration. This thesis attempts to quantify the risk of beta-blocker and NSAID exposure in asthma by synthesising …
