General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi & Welcome.
Asthalin (Salbutamol) nebulizer is given to relieve the wheezing caused by bronchospasm due to allergy or bronchial asthma.
It is absolutely safe for the young infants. It is a short acting drug and when given through nebulizer it predominantly acts on the airways smooth muscles (in the lungs) so less likely to cause other side effects like oral medications. However, it may cause increased heart beats, tremors in some children on prolonged use. Hope this answers your query.
A feed back is appreciated.
