Donna, I had same problem with Albuterol, so I was switched to Levabuterol, and it works the same without the shakiness. I also have all three percents of saline and use them where appropriate— I.e. if my lungs are irritated I use the .9% and if real mucusy I use the 7% but mostly use 3%.

Linda, that is so interesting that you were tested via PFT for a bronchodilator’s effect!! I read that even levabuterol can cause lung irritation. I am going to ask for that test! Thanks

@cate123456 I do not know anything about the saline you speak of. Is that what you are calling what is in the albuteral vial or is it something you put in your nebulizer instead of albuteral or do you add it to your albuteral. I dont have any side effects from Albuterol.
I am wondering about the saline.
