What are the effects of a Salamol Asthma Pump?
I would like to know what the effects for a Salamol Asthma Pump.
The pump's making my girlfriends hands and knees shake.
Is this just a regular symptom?
Answer by Lydia
* Asthma is caused by the inflammation of the airways (breathing tubes). The
* swelling of the airways which is the result of the inflammation causes the airways to be narrowed. During an acute asthma attack the airways are further narrowed by the contraction of the airways muscles (bronchospasm) (see "What is asthma?")
* Both the airway inflammation and muscle contraction are best treated by delivering the medicine into the airways. This is best achieved by breathing the medicine into the airways
* In this information sheet the best ways of delivering the medicines to the airways are discussed.

Yes that's quite common. The drug actives your body's reserves, dilating the respiratory passages and increases HR. It almost has a similar effect as adrenaline, so shakes are common. If it's really becoming a problem, sometimes reducing the dose of the inhaler can help, but she needs to discuss this with her GP and certainly NO change to her medication should be made without consulting her GP first.
This is a common short term symptom and is no cause for concern.
