Expert Advice

  • Salbutamol is used to treat the breathlessness, coughing, and wheezing that are symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Salbutamol must be used regularly to maintain constant respiratory function. If you have a family history of heart disease or if you're experiencing headaches or chest discomfort, consult a doctor. Do not stop taking Salbutamol medication unless your doctor prescribes you to. Your doctor may monitor your blood potassium level regularly because a low oxygen level in the blood (hypoxia) and certain medications, like Salbutamol, may cause a drop in blood potassium levels. You should consult your doctor immediately if you experience twitching, weakness, or an abnormal heartbeat.
