Can albuterol cause vomiting?
My son uses an Albuterol inhaler for his asthma, especially when he has flare-ups. Sometimes after using it, he feels a little uneasy or queasy. Is it possible for Albuterol to cause vomiting as a side effect?

Oh god, I always get so anxious whenever my doctor prescribes any new medicine because I immediately think of all the worst side effects. I actually felt super nauseous and threw up once after taking my inhaler, which made me panic completely. It turned out I was just inhaling it wrong and swallowing the medicine instead of breathing it into my lungs, so maybe check your technique?
Haan yaar, bilkul ho sakti hai vomiting. Actually jab hum inhaler theek se inhale nahi karte, toh dawai stomach mein chali jaati hai aur usse stomach upset ho jata hai na. Apne doc se ek baar pump lene ka sahi tarika seekh lo, problem solve ho jayegi.
It is quite common to feel a bit nauseous or throw up after using albuterol, so please don't worry too much. Just try to sit quietly and rest for some time after taking your dose. Hope you feel better soon.
At this age, my body finds a reason to complain about every single pill or spray I use. Yes, albuterol gave me a bad bout of vomiting once because of that horrible chemical aftertaste that lingers in the throat. Now I keep a bottle of water ready to rinse and spit immediately, otherwise my stomach goes on strike.
Hey, don't stress too much about it! Vomiting or feeling a bit sick in the stomach can sometimes happen if you are new to albuterol or if you took a slightly heavy dose. Just rinse your mouth with water right after using your inhaler, it really helps get rid of that bitter taste and stops the nausea.
Yes, albuterol can cause nausea and vomiting in some people, especially kids. Gargling and rinsing your mouth thoroughly after each use can help prevent this side effect.
I can't say if this is medically common for everyone, but when I had to use albuterol during a bad bronchitis phase, I felt incredibly nauseous and threw up twice. I realized it happened more when I used it on an empty stomach. Once I started rinsing my mouth and having a light biscuit before, it stopped.
