Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Jan-2016
Chronic neutrophilic inflammation, in both the presence and absence of infection, is a feature of bronchiectasis in adults and children. The anti-inflammatory properties of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be beneficial in reducing airway
- Inhaled short acting beta2‐agonist use in chronic asthma: regular versus as needed treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2003
Inhaled short-acting beta-2 agonists are the major class of bronchodilators used for relief of symptoms in asthma. There has been concern that excessive uncontrolled use of beta-2 agonists might have contributed to rises in asthma mortality seen in some c
- Inhaled short‐acting beta2‐agonists versus ipratropium for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jan-2001
Inhaled short acting beta2 adrenergic agonists and ipratropium bromide are both used in the treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
- Inhaled sodium cromoglycate for asthma in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Oct-2008
Sodium cromoglycate has been recommended as maintenance treatment for childhood asthma for many years. Its use has decreased since 1990, when inhaled corticosteroids became popular, but it is still used in many countries.

- Inhaled steroids with and without regular formoterol for asthma: serious adverse events
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Sep-2019
Epidemiological evidence has suggested a link between beta2-agonists and increases in asthma mortality. There has been much debate about whether regular (daily) long-acting beta2-agonists (LABA) are safe when used in combination with inhaled corticosteroi
- Inhaled steroids with and without regular salmeterol for asthma: serious adverse events
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Dec-2018
Epidemiological evidence has suggested a link between use of beta2-agonists and increased asthma mortality. Much debate has surrounded possible causal links for this association, and whether regular (daily) long-acting beta2-agonists (LABAs) are safe, par
- Inhaled versus oral steroids for adults with chronic asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jan-2001
Steroids are a common treatment of chronic asthma as a maintenance therapy in both developed and developing countries across the world. The cost of inhaled steroids means that in developing countries their availability is limited, leading to poorly contro
