Premenopausal women with asthma who use oral contraception that contains oestrogen may be less likely to experience severe exacerbations, a new study suggests.
An analysis of data from more than 80,000 women with asthma found a small but significant reduction in severe asthma attacks in those who had been on the pill for three or more years, researchers reported in Thorax.
