Resumen
O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar e discutir as publicações referentes à associação de aumento de mortalidade com o uso de fenoterol no tratamento de asma, seus efeitos colaterais e a situação atual de sua utilização em asma no mundo e no Brasil. Como fonte de dados, foi utilizada a base de dados do PubMed, utilizando os descritores asthma AND fenoterol, e Scielo, utilizando os descritores asma e fenoterol. São apresentados os resultados de estudos relevantes realizados sobre o tema em alguns países desenvolvidos e discutimos o potencial risco aumentado de mortalidade em pacientes que utilizam fenoterol em asma. Vários estudos demonstraram também a menor seletividade deste fármaco aos receptores 2-adrenérgicos. A comercialização de fenoterol foi proibida ou restrita em inúmeros países desenvolvidos, mas é amplamente utilizada ainda no Brasil. Os autores concluem que, com as evidências vigentes, a utilização irrestrita deste fármaco em asma deveria ser discutida por especialistas, sociedades médicas e órgãos governamentais no Brasil.

Palabras clave

Abstract
The aim of the present article is to analyze and discuss the papers published regarding the association between the increase in asthma mortality and the use of fenoterol, its adverse effects and the current situation of its use in asthma in developed countries and in Brazil. As source of data, PubMed and Scielo databases were used, and a search was made with asthma AND fenoterol as keywords, for the selection of relevant articles. We have presented the results from studies made in developed countries and we discuss the potential increased risk of death in patients using fenoterol in asthma. Many studies have also demonstrated that fenoterol is less selective to b2-agonist receptors. Fenoterol use has been restricted or prohibited in many developed countries, but it is still widely used in Brazil. The authors conclude that, given the current evidence, the restricted use of fenoterol in asthma should be discussed by specialists, medical societies and government agencies in Brazil.

Key words
