I have been on both the albuterol solution and the inhalers for over 20 years now and I have been diagnosed with copd have been intubated twice, and and have potassium problems along with blood clots. I found this specialist who told me that albuterol was causing the potassium problems and possibly the clots. I was told by my dr to use this medication 4 times a day not as needed. now it has destroyed my health and my life. be careful with albuterol and also prednisone please

For 59 years I have had familial periodic paralysis. Lately my potassium level has been down. This problem started after taking albuterol for copd.
I take two puffs every 8 hrs .I could not understand why I was getting paralysis as it had tapered off considerably the last 15 years and I have not had paralysis at all for 3 years until the last 4 months. Now I will have to take small amounts of potassium every night but less than when I was younger.
The Albuterol has helped me considerably!

Can cause COPD after long term use. Doctors have asked for a decrease in usage.

I have COPD and use an Albuterol nebulizer 4x a day. I have a very hoarse voice. Could the nebulizer be the cause?
Also using Advair Discus and my glacoma readings have gone up 4 points. Now using two eye drops: Xalatan 2.5ml once a day and 10m; of Alphagan twice a day. What else can I do to lower my glacome readings?
