What the FDA labels say
From the Budesonide and formoterol (Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate) label · effective 2026-04-24
In this setting, cardioselective beta-blockers could be considered, although they should be administered with caution.
Beta-Adrenergic Receptor Blocking Agents Beta-blockers (including eye drops) may not only block the pulmonary effect of beta-agonists, such as formoterol, a component of budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate, but may produce severe bronchospasm in patients with asthma.
Therefore, patients with asthma should not normally be treated with beta-blockers.
However, under certain circumstances, there may be no acceptable alternatives to the use of beta-adrenergic blocking agents in patients with asthma.
From the Labetalol (Labetalol Hydrochloride) label · effective 2025-12-19
Beta blockers antagonize the bronchodilator effect of beta-receptor agonists.
Bronchodilators Labetalol HCl antagonizes the bronchodilatory effect of beta-receptor agonist drugs; therefore, labetalol HCl is contraindicated in patients with bronchial asthma [see Contraindications (4) ] .
