The objective of the Block-COPD Study is to determine if beta-blockers are safe and effective at reducing the number of exacerbations or flare-ups that people living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) experience. A beta-blockers is a drug that is taken by mouth and is currently used to treat a wide range of diseases including high blood pressure and heart disease. The purpose of this study is to determine if this drug can also help patients with COPD. We hope that this study will help us learn more about how to treat COPD.
