Agenda:
There has been a cloud over the use of long-acting beta-agonist bronchodilators, such as salmeterol (Serevent) and formoterol (Foradil), that are part of the combination inhalers Advair, Symbicort, and Dulera. Their use has been associated with an increased risk of death and near-death (ICU admission) from asthma, leading to a “black box” warning contained in the package insert of all of these inhalers. There has been a question about whether this risk of death and near-death applies to those who use these long-acting bronchodilators together with an inhaled steroid. The attached article describes a large study designed to answer this question.
