Any actual ADRs that occurred was calculated using the Naranjo probability
scale. The number of hospitalized patients were 60 people and outpatients were 22
people. The number of ADRs that occur were 39 cases, consisted of 36 cases of ADRs
in hospitalized patients with asthma and 3 cases of ADRs in outpatient asthma
patients. Drug groups most involved in ADRs was B2-agonist group. Naranjo scale
