The role of macrolides in asthma: current evidence and future directions.

The Lancet. Respiratory medicine - 1 Aug 2014

Wong Ernie H C, Porter James D, Edwards Michael R, Johnston Sebastian L

Abstract excerpt

Macrolides, such as clarithromycin and azithromycin, possess antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and potential antiviral properties. They represent a potential therapeutic option for asthma, a chronic inflammatory disorder characterised by airway hyper-responsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. Results from clinical trials, however, have been...
