hi,
the shaky hands may be due to stress and tension or due to the medication. This medication contains formeterol which may cause shaky hands.

If you are getting breathlessness, difficulty in breathing, disturbed sleep due to cough/breathlessness then you need to take medication for controlling asthma symptoms. you can take tab montelukast 10 mg plain every night or inhalational steroid like budesonide alone after discussing with your doctor.

Hope this helps you.
