Regular treatment with salmeterol and inhaled steroids for chronic asthma: serious adverse events
Cochrane Reviews, 07/13/09
Cates CJ et al. - The authors analysed data from 30 studies in adults and three in children that compared regular salmeterol in addition to inhaled corticosteroids, against the same dose of inhaled corticosteroids. Too few deaths occurred in the trials to gain any conclusive reassurance that regular salmeterol taken with inhaled corticosteroids either reduces the risk of mortality, or in fact does not increase it. Serious adverse events were not significantly increased in adults or children when regular salmeterol was added to inhaled corticosteroids as randomised treatment, but the results are too imprecise to conclude that there is no increased risk.
