Introduction
Tremors and palpitations caused by albuterol can usually be relieved through general management and medication. Patients should ensure adequate rest, maintain emotional stability, and stay warm. If symptoms of tremors and palpitations are severe, medications such as metoprolol succinate extended-release tablets, a beta-blocker, may be taken under a doctor's guidance.
Tremors and palpitations caused by salbutamol can usually be relieved through general management or medication. Specific details are as follows:
1. General Management
Salbutamol is a clinically used drug for treating and preventing conditions such as bronchitis or asthma. It belongs to the class of short-acting β2 receptor agonists. Some patients may experience side effects after taking it, including muscle tremors and increased heart rate. If symptoms are mild, they can generally be alleviated through lifestyle adjustments. In such cases, patients should ensure adequate rest, maintain emotional stability, stay warm to prevent colds, and follow a light diet to reduce bodily stimulation.
2. Medication
If a patient experiences severe tremors and palpitations that persist for more than four hours after taking the medication, it is generally recommended to seek timely medical evaluation. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as metoprolol succinate extended-release tablets or sotalol hydrochloride tablets—both β-blockers—may be prescribed for treatment.
Patients are advised to use salbutamol properly under medical supervision, monitor their symptoms after use, and promptly seek medical attention and treatment if any discomfort occurs.
