Hi... There are certainly good management therapies in allopatry nowadays. Medicine has advanced a lot and not asthma is 100% controllable. Inhalers are the newest management strategies for this. Albuterols side effects include - tremor, nervousness, low potassium, high blood pressure (but this is a rare side effect) and as such Albuterol is a safe Chat Doctor.  If asthma is not controlled with Albuterol - I suggest you start Inhaled corticosteroids rather than only Albuterol. Regards -
