Risks and warnings

• Use with caution: If you have heart disease, high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid, diabetes, or seizures, as salbutamol may affect these
• Protect your eyes: as mist in the eyes may cause blurred vision or eye pain, especially in narrow angle glaucoma
• Use with caution: if you have an enlarged prostate or difficulty passing urine, since ipratropium may worsen this
• Use with caution: if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and use it only when your doctor advises
• Seek urgent help: if breathing gets worse right after a dose, as sudden airway tightening can occasionally occur
• Tell your doctor about other medicines: as beta blockers may block its effect, and diuretics or steroids may lower potassium
