What Causes Severe Muscle Pain After Taking Albuterol?
My wife has been taking albuterol sulfate for the last 24 hours. She is now having muscle pain that is making it hard for her to sit. She is up down very uncomfortable and slight pain. Aside from stopping the use of the inhaler is there anything we can do to make her more comfortable?

Hello,
Muscle discomfort is due to the side-effects of the Albuterol, which must be stopped immediately. Along with that, plenty of liquids and tablet Paracetamol every 6 hourly after meals will support great.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
