Can Metoprolol be safely used in patients with asthma, and what precautions are necessary to prevent bronchoconstriction?
Metoprolol, a beta-blocker, can pose risks for asthma patients as it may induce bronchoconstriction. If necessary, use with caution, prefer cardioselective types, and monitor respiratory status closely.
While metoprolol is generally avoided in asthma patients due to bronchoconstriction risks, it can be prescribed in low doses under strict medical supervision if other treatments are not suitable.
