ProAir HFA and Pulmicort. Asthma symptoms immediately went away. Noticed tremors started in my

Brief Answer:
You may try montair lc tablet and tiova inhaler.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,

Thanks for posting your query on HCM.

It is Proair HFA which may cause tremors.

For mild asthma you may try montair lc,
one tablet daily. You may also take tiova inhaler, just 2 puffs daily.

If you take pulmicort inhaler regularly your requirement of Proair HFA WILL go down thus reducing tremors.

However I would like to mention that tremors with Proair HFA will come if you are taking it regularly. If tremors are continuing despite stopping Proair, there may be some other reason for it so kindly get checked from a neurologist.
