Adverse Reactions

Salbutamol has mainly beta-agonist effects and, like other beta agonists, may cause fine tremor of skeletal muscle (particularly the hands), palpitations, tachycardia, nervous tension, headaches, peripheral vasodilatation, and rarely muscle cramps. Inhalation causes fewer adverse effects than systemic dosage, and the more selective beta-2 agonists cause fewer adverse effects than less selective beta agonists. Potentially serious hypokalaemia has been reported after large doses. Myocardial ischaemia has also been reported. Hypersensitivity reactions have occurred, including paradoxical bronchospasm, angioedema, urticaria, hypotension, and collapse. The high doses of salbutamol used intravenously to delay premature labour have additionally been associated with nausea and vomiting, and with severe adverse cardiac and metabolic effects and pulmonary oedema.
