A member asked:
I've been told albuterol makes kids hyper. three time in the last two days he has passed out asleep within 5 minutes of his albuterol. why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: Happens also in adults, after effective airway opening, irritability that accompanies tightened airways goes and patients feel relaxed and want to sleep. Being hyper after having it is just a side effect that may or may not happen, not in every case
