Asthma Treatment May Impact Time To Conception

reports that “in an analysis of data from the international Screening for Pregnancy Endpoints (SCOPE) study, no significant difference in time to conception was seen among non-asthmatic women and asthmatic women taking inhaled corticosteroids with and without long-acting β-agonists.” However, “women with asthma using short-acting beta agonist drugs alone took, on average, about 20% longer to conceive and were 30% more likely to take more than a year to get pregnant compared with women without asthma.” https://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/?toURL=https://www.forbes.com/sites/helenthomson/2018/02/14/asthma-linked-to-infertility-in-women-who-only-take-short-term-medication/&refURL=&referrer=
