A member asked:
I am having tablets & 2 types of rotacaps for treating asthma. since then i have minor shaky hands/fingers. what causes this, tablets or inhalers?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Both: This is a side effect of all forms of beta agonist medication including liquids, pills and inhalers. The total dose tends to be higher with the tablets and as such they are a bigger offender.

Either one: Beta-agonists (albuterol and related) used in both tablet and inhaler form, commonly cause shakiness. Consult your doctor, there are other medicines that you can use.
