title: Review of side effects associated with beta agonists.
abstract: Beta agonists are a primary drug of choice in the treatment of asthma. Nevertheless, there are significant concerns about side effects in using these medications, especially in certain disease states, in higher dosages, and in severe asthma episodes. Proper patient evaluations and monitoring can reduce significantly these side effects and reduce their health consequences.
