CAN I TAKE INDERAL IF I HAVE A HISTORY OF ASTHMA?

Asthma that is active with airway bronchospasm makes a non-selective beta blocker like Inderal a problem, because beta 2 receptor sites line that bronchial airways (wheezing might get worse).  If a beta blocker is needed in that case I would use a beta 1 specific agent (metoprolol).  That said, history of asthma with no active wheezing is probably not a problem for Inderal
