Side effects at a normal adult dose
What I found:
"Albuterol Extended-release tablets
The adverse reactions to Albuterol are similar in nature to reactions to other sympathomimetic agents.
The most frequent adverse reactions to Albuterol are nervousness, tremor, headache, tachycardia, and palpitations.
Less frequent adverse reactions are muscle cramps, insomnia, nausea, weakness, dizziness, drowsiness, flushing, restlessness, irritability, chest discomfort, and difficulty in micturition.
Rare cases of urticaria, angioedema, rash, bronchospasm, and oropharyngeal edema have been reported after the use of Albuterol.
In addition, Albuterol, like other sympathomimetic agents, can cause adverse reactions such as hypertension, angina, vomiting, vertigo, central nervous system stimulation, unusual taste, and drying or irritation of the oropharynx.
In controlled clinical trials of adult patients conducted in the United States, the following incidence of adverse events was reported:
Albuterol Sulfate Extended-Release Tablets Theophylline Other Beta-Agonists Placebo
Event (n = 330) (n = 197) (n = 20) (n = 178)
Tremor 24.2% 6.1% 35% 1.1%
Headache 18.8% 26.9% 35% 20.8%
Nervousness 8.5% 5.1% 10% 2.8%
Nausea/Vomiting 4.2% 19.8% 5% 3.9%
Tachycardia 2.7% 0.5% 5% 0%
Muscle Cramps 2.7% 0.5% 5% 0.6%
Palpitations 2.4% 0.5% 0% 1.1%
Insomnia 2.4% 6.1% 0% 1.7%
Dizziness 1.5% 2% 0% 5.1%
Somnolence 0.3% 1% 0% 0.6%
A trend was observed among patients treated with Albuterol sulfate extended-release tablets toward increasing frequency of muscle cramps with increasing patient age (12 to 20 years, 1.2%; 21 to 30 years, 2.6%; 31 to 40 years, 6.9%; 41 to 50 years, 6.9%), compared with no such events in the placebo group. Also observed was an increasing frequency of tremor with increasing patient age (12 to 20 years, 29.4%; 21 to 30 years, 29.9%; 31 to 40 years, 27.6%; 41 to 50 years, 37.9%), compared to 2.9% or less in the placebo group.
The reactions are generally transient in nature, and it is usually not necessary to discontinue treatment with Albuterol sulfate extended-release tablets."
So it looks like getting the shakes and having a headache are the most commons sides. Ive never had either using an inhailer.
I think the only thing that would concern me would be using doses higher than reccomended because the sides would become more pronounced. Overall it is a much better choice over using Clen if youre dead set on using a beta agonist.
It does make some sense that it might help some fat loss because I know personally that using a beta blocker can cause weight gain. I think its questionable though how effective albuterol is for weight loss.
I think that this puts it into perspective:
"Albuterol Dosage for Weight Loss
Honestly speaking using albuterol for weight loss is not a good option. However, many people use it because clinical studies show that albuterol increases metabolic rate, which in turn helps to lose weight. Although, it has been popularized as a weight loss pill, it has not received any FDA approval. Doctors also do not recommend albuterol to lose fat. It is observed that people literally abuse this medicine and take it in larger doses to lose weight. This can lead to side effects like high blood pressure and put the person in the risk zone of heart attack and stroke.
It is observed that increased albuterol dosage does help to control acute asthma problems but still, one has to consult a doctor to take medicine in higher doses. On the whole, abuse of albuterol dosage has to strictly avoided and follow the age old remedy for weight loss which is nothing but exercise and a healthy diet."
