Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Salbutamol
My son has asthma and uses Salbutamol inhalers. He complains of twitching or spasms in his leg a year after a slight accident hurt his groin area a year ago. I was researching causes when I read that possibly medications could be causing them. So I would like to ask if his inhaler contains corticosteroids? Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi,
Check his serum electrolytes as Salbutamol inhalation causes hypokalemia which may be the cause for spasms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
