Does Overdose Of Ventolin Cause Any Side Effects?
I am over sixty and a heavy smoker, I also have asthma and have been on Ventolin for treatment of this but have needed more than the recommended dose so have been overusing it. I am due for an Asthma review but am scared to go to doctor. My anxiety over these reviews is getting worse and I am scared to tell doctor about amount of Ventolin I am actually using - Can you help me

Hello
Ventolin ( ventorlin ) is salbutamol and most potent and effective drug for asthma .Since you are already taking ventolin so fine tremors , tachycardia , palpitations are not troublesome for you.
But the most important thing is as:
POTENTIALLY SERIOUS HYPOKALAEMIA after large doses is most dangerous .
So this is a fatal condition so consult your doctor and get his opinion.
Good luck.
