A member asked:

Does long term use of salbutamol inhaler cause osteoporosis?

Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

The use of Salbutamol alone is not advisable for chronic asthma. The asthma plan should include an inhaled steroid in combination. It is not usually associated with osteoporosis. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available to review your asthma plan. Avoid dust, pollen mold and other triggers.
