   Alternatives to Advair and other inhalants? (Asthma board)

3rd January 2004
The inhaled corticosteroids, qvar beclovent nasocort pulmicort flovent et al, do not cause an appreciable change in heart rate.

That said, there are differing degrees of drug-induced tachycardia caused by the rescue drugs -- Ventolin and its purer (and more expensive version) Xopenex are believed to be the most lung-selective and the least heart-selective stimulant-wise and therefore cause the smallest increase in heart rate when compared to drugs like berotec and bricanyl.
