Albuterol sulfate (albuterol sulfate) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Albuterol sulfate (albuterol sulfate)
didn't use many times - maybe 4 times the first couple days
Difficulty breathing due to asthma
I'm still taking this medication. I experience no side effects that I am aware of.
I still keep an Albuterol Sulfate cartridge as a back-up inhaler, but I have used it only once or twice in the past year. I primarily use Albuterol Sulfate if my breathing becomes difficult during periods of exercise, and it does help relieve tightness in my chest and helps me take deeper breaths.
I am leaving this review for my mom who has COPD and her previous doctor prescribed the Albuterol Sulfate. He told her she could use as often as she wanted to! This drug is dangerous! It creates MAJOR mood swings as well! Her current doctor took her off of the Albuterol and has her doing a different brand for her breathing treatments and she was doing wonderful with her mood, her sleep and everything. The nursing home she is at just called and said they had ran out of her current brand so they had to go back to the Albuterol. This stuff is bad news!! She has gone into anxiety attacks today just like she was when she was previously prescribed the Albuterol! If you have a loved on using this brand, get them off of it!!
Company is distributing a small canister that only works a couple of times then nothing comes out when you press it. It is supposed to release 200 times. Don't bother buying this.
Been on Proair for years worked perfectly. Pharm changed to albuterol sulphate without asking tho standing order no substitute because of years past experience. It immediately makes my lungs itch so bad it causes severe coughing & throat left hoarse & bruised feeling.
Should be off market...my son had same bad reactions.
immediate chest pain, bright red rash all over face, raised my pulse rate by 10, raised my BP from 115/60 to 150/65
looks like mine was an allergic reaction to this drug
Extreme jittery-ness, shaking, irritability
Despite the side effects, I am pro-albuterol. It has saved my life on numerous occasions. I take both the inhaler and the nebulizer solution.
Albuterol Sulfate Inhaler - TEVA
RED REPLACEMENT MINI LOOKING inhaler. Replacing the old ones. did not stop asthma attack in progress. Wasteful priming of the inhaler before use, after taste.
Red inhaler made by Teva. Did not seem to stop the attack without excess use. It tells you to prime the inhaler before use which wastes doses. Left a gross after taste. Half the size of the other inhalers with a double the price tag on it. Not impressed. Helps some.
I now take ProAir HFA, since the old generic albuterol is no longer available. No side effects, but I fear death because the ProAir HFA just DOES NOT WORK to stop an asthma attack.
I used generic albuterol for over 10 years as needed for asthma attacks. The old albuterol WORKED great, but the FDA & EPA had a problem with the propellant in it, so now we have ProAir, which costs more, but does not work. Instead of 2-4 puffs during an attack, I have to take 8-10 puffs of ProAir. I don't know if they have changed the drug or just the propellant, but as it is today, the ProAir is a waste of money.
My 2 year old started with a bad cough and shortness of breath.Her pediatricial prescribed ProAir HFA. Instead of getting better. She got worse. I discontinued the Albuterol Sulfate. She started to get better. Two days later I took her to the doctor for a checkup. The doctor insisted with the prescription.She is having a bad cough again. It is non-stop!
Works great for my son. He has reactive airway disease and this clears up his wheezing whenever it is needed.
Nervousness, shortness of breath (ironically) and vaginal irritation.
Just wanted to let the ladies know that using this medication regularly may cause vaginal irritation and even yeast infections.
Works well for my son. Has helped control his chronic cough & wheezing. He does have flare ups during allergy season (spring & fall).
WORKS BETTER THAN PULMICORT, BUT IT MAKES MY THROATH WEIRD, I HAVE TO KEEP CLEARING IT, VERY EMBARASSING
ALBUTEROL SULFATE (ALBUTEROL SULFATE): Albuterol (also known as salbutamol) is used to prevent and treat wheezing and shortness of breath caused by breathing problems (such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It is also used to prevent asthma brought on by exercise. It is a quick-relief drug. Albuterol belongs to a class of drugs known as bronchodilators. It works in the airways by opening breathing passages and relaxing muscles. Controlling symptoms of breathing problems can decrease time lost from work or school.

Loestrin made my forehead breakout, and I've never had acne problems since being on birth control. Also, my breats are constantly sore; however, I've noticed no weight gain. I think I will discontinue using it because I'm not cool with not having a period.
Was given Oestradose by pharmacy..AWFUL! Bloating / breast pain/ swollen breasts/Went straight back to my lovely GP and found correct Oestragel & back on track €ï¸
Feels like I'm on a cloud nine high when it kicks in. The migraine goes away, I get a little loopy and zoned, sometimes get pretty sleepy and can't stay awake while I'm at work. I sometimes get a tightness in my throat.
Will never take this med again. I felt like I was going to die. Horrible.
Benadrul can cause neurological problems. Be careful not to assume it is harmless and that other meds are to blame for symptoms.
2 herniated discs - lower back
First dose caused food regurgitation, headache, extreme muscle aches, confusion and extreme fatigue. Shame on you FDA!
I don't know what I would do without this medicine. I have had a daily headache for the past 8 years and this drug has been a lifesaver. I can live with the side effects as this medication has most days, lowered my headaches from a 7 to around a 4 (0-10). As for lost of words or spelling of words- get a dictionary or as I say to people "it is the drugs" and most people will smile/laugh or shrug it off as today most people are on some type of drug. Just make sure you start with a low dosage and work yourself up- don't let the doctors tell you when you are ready for a higher dose.
Weight gain,hot flashes and the worst mood swings, depression, nervous breakdown,and anxiety attacks
