Article Summary: But significant increase in asthma-related deaths in patients receiving salmeterol
FDA Warning On Serevent Death
WARNING: Data from a large placebo-controlled US study that compared the safety of
salmeterol (SEREVENT Inhalation Aerosol) or placebo added to usual asthma therapy showed a
small but significant increase in asthma-related deaths in patients receiving salmeterol (13 deaths
out of 13,174 patients treated for 28 weeks) versus those on placebo (4 of 13,179). Subgroup
analyses suggest the risk may be greater in African-American patients compared to Caucasians
(see WARNINGS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Clinical Trials: Asthma: Salmeterol
Multi-center Asthma Research Trial). If you or anyone you know has either taken or been prescribed Serevent for asthma or other related medical troubles, our expert lawyers are here to help you.

Consumer advocacy websites like WorstPills.org, Best Pills News listed the asthma drug salmeterol (SEREVENT) as a DO NOT USE drug after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on January 23, 2003 that a large safety study involving the drug had been halted prematurely because an interim analysis of outcomes suggested that the drug may be associated with an increased risk of life-threatening asthma episodes or asthma-related deaths.
