Abstract
Metabolic acidosis has seldom been reported during treatment of asthma with use of beta agonist but not with much clinical consequence. We report two cases of metabolic acidosis with hyperventilation as a direct effect of salbutamol that caused difficulty in assessment and management of their respiratory symptoms which resolved with appropriate tapering of beta agonist.Entities:
