Metoprolol safe, eases lung inflammation in critically ill COVID-19 patients

Intravenous (IV) administration of the beta-blocker metoprolol safely reduces the exacerbation of lung in patients with COVID-19–related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a study has shown. Reduced lung inflammation then leads to improvement in oxygenation and to fewer days on mechanical ventilation and of admission to intensive care unit (ICU).
