Proof of concept evaluation of trough airway hyper-responsiveness following regular racemic or levosalbutamol in genotype-stratified steroid-treated persistent asthmatics

In conclusion, regular exposure to either racemic or levosalbutamol for 2 weeks added to inhaled corticosteroids did not cause worsening of airway hyper-responsiveness at trough compared to placebo; with no difference seen between beta-2 adrenoceptor 16 genotypes
