Hi,
Levosalbutamol in duolin that acts as a bronchodilator can cause tremors and reduced potassium levels in the blood.
The dose of the drug can be reduced and the frequency of inhalation aerosol should be restricted to every 4 hours.
Steroids in the above-mentioned drugs do not cause such side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
