Ventolin Vibe

How do you all handle shakes when using a few shots near blew my head off first time with a couple from a spacer. Come to this later in life it is hard to learn new tricks as well as remember what it is for

I take ventolin tablets, which are the equivalent of 16 puffs per tablet. I shake all the time! Its an active tremor in that at rest my hands are still but when I use the muscles I shake. Taking care is my best advice and do things slowly. I've learnt through experience and many burns/cuts!!!

What are ventolin tablets are they like inhalers but with more equivalent in puffs

Hi All

Afraid Ventolin does not give me any noticeable benefit used so little that it is not a problem as it is for you and ribbit. Is there anything to bring you back into balance or help with the shake ?

Best Wishes Robert

Hello, My husband gets the most awful shakes and cramps from ventolin. He was prescribed Bricanyl as a reliever but does not find that very good and when he uses the salbutamol in the neb, he gets very shaky. Good luck! TAD x

Yes the shake is annoying, but it's better than not breathing. You win some, you loose some.

Usually if you shake when when using Ventolin or salbutamol (which is another name for Ventoling) that is what gives you the shakes, you should mention it to your doctor, who may lower your dosage or put you on something else, especially if you have any heart problems. kind regards ljc

My hands often shake with the use of Ventolin.People stare and comment but I just get on with it and try not to let it stop me doing what I want.More upsetting is that my GP has warned me that using a lot of Ventolin is dangerous if I have a major attack the Ventolin given then in hospital will be less effective.GP says though that I must use the Ventolin if I need it
