- Abstract
The article presents a case-control study which examines the association of fenoterol, a beta2-adrenergic agonist, with multiple sclerosis (MS) risk. The study was conducted to 578 individuals with MS in Taiwan and a conditional logistic regression method was performed to analyze the drug administration. Findings show that patients who used fenoterol have lesser risk of MS than their counterparts.
