Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blocking Beta 1 receptors would actually have the opposite effect and could worsen asthma symptoms. Beta blockers that block both Beta 1 and Beta 2 receptors (non-selective beta blockers) are contraindicated in asthma treatment. Selective Beta 2 receptor agonists, such as albuterol or salmeterol, are used to treat asthma by relaxing airway muscles and improving breathing.
