Key points

  • Frequent need can signal poorly controlled asthma or COPD.
  • It can cause tremor, fast heart rate and low potassium.
  • Failure to improve severe breathlessness is an emergency.

Listings are for comparison and general information; suitability and supply depend on clinician and pharmacy checks, monitoring and prescription requirements.

Important safety checks

Inhaler technique, heart rhythm, potassium and other stimulants or bronchodilators require review.

When to seek urgent care

Seek urgent help for severe breathlessness not relieved by the rescue plan, blue lips, chest pain, fainting or worsening wheeze after use.
