added albuterol, explained why only in emergencies

| Apr 18, 2016 at 8:14 | comment | added | Gremlin | Albuterol is another name for salbutamol. I inlcuded a warning that it should only be used for a potentially deadly situation (like an obstructed airway) because of the side effects of increased heart rate/BP and the possibility of an adverse reaction to the drug itself | |
| Apr 15, 2016 at 4:05 | comment | added | BenjiWiebe | @RockPaperLizard My asthma inhaler is albuterol, so I'm not aware of how salbutamol works (probably much the same though). When I use even two puffs of albuterol, I get a very noticeably elevated heart rate. I would be afraid of doing damage with too many more puffs... | |

It can induce higher levels of activeness in children, but the general advice with salbutamol is that it should be given if there is even a slight chance it might help. I am not sure why this line was in the answer. | |
