Can I take beta blockers despite having asthma?(Very low doses)

Posted by rave777 @rave777, Aug 8 8:03pm

My doctor has prescribed me a beta blocker which is known as indever(10mg). However, I have a past history of asthma. Although, I do not need to take any medicine for it anymore(I had it as a kid so I don’t recall the last time I did take medicine for it. I forgot to mention this history of asthma. What should I do?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Asthma & Allergy Support Group.

@rave777 I would definitely send a message to the doctor to see if there is another choice. Or since you have been without symptoms for so long, whether you could try it and switch to something else if asthma kicks in again.
Have you contacted the doctor?

Hi, @rave777 - just wanted to see what your doctor said after you emailed him about taking beta blockers despite having asthma?
