Adrenergic beta-agonists (beta-agonists) are "drugs that selectively bind to and activate beta-adrenergic receptors."[1]
They are divided in several ways: short-acting (SABA) and Long acting adrenergic beta-agonists (LABA).

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 or might not[6] 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.[7][3] There are two major randomized controlled trials of LABAs. The SNS study compared salmeterol to salbutamol[8] 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)(OMIM) that confers a natural "genetic beta-blockade".[9]
Ozone depletion
In order to comply with ozone protection, these medicines must not use chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) for a chlorofluorocarbon by January 1, 2009.[10][11] Inhalers using hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) propellants are CFC-free. The HFA based inhalers are brand name and more expensive. They are Ventolin by GlaxoSmithKline, ProAir by Ivax, Proventil by Schering-Plough and Xopenex by Sepracor. The first three use albuterol whereas Xopenex uses levalbuterol. Financial assistance is available for patients available through the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (1-888-477-2669).[11] As of November, 2008, the prices costs in American dollars were Ventolin 36.18, ProAir 33.92, Proventil 41.34 and Xopenex 52.50.[12]
