Why asthalin is given to treat hyperkalemia?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Is that so?: I am not aware of asthalin / salbutamol being used for this. Is there perhaps a miscommunication?

Asthalin and potassi: Asthalin is the drug salbutamol (albuterol in the us). Through its effect on cell membranes and how the kidney "handles" potassium in the blood, this drug can cause serum potassium to fall (a known udesired side effect). While I have not ever heard of using this kind of drug to treat hyperkalemia, theoretically it could actually do that.
