Q. I have started using Salbutamol and I am experiencing headaches and shakiness. Is this because of Salbutamol and will these go away?
Yes, it could be due to Salbutamol. Feeling shaky is a common side effect of Salbutamol which goes away after some time. For headaches, drink plenty of water, get sufficient rest and avoid alcohol. Usually headaches go away after a week. If they persist for a long time, contact your doctor.
Q. When should I take Salbutamol?

Q. Can I smoke if I have been prescribed Salbutamol?
No, you should not smoke while taking Salbutamol. Smoking irritates the lungs. The medicine may make breathing more difficult, especially in patients who have asthma. Take advice from your doctor if you are finding it hard to avoid smoking.
