Albuterol is a fast-acting rescue med for kids with asthma—but did you know it can cause rare side effects like SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia)?

For most kids, side effects are mild—like shakiness or a faster heart rate—but SVT is when the heart rate jumps over 200 bpm and doesn’t slow down. It’s rare, but important to know.

If your child needs albuterol often, it might be time to look at long-term asthma strategies:
✔️ Daily controller meds (like inhaled corticosteroids)
✔️ Avoiding common asthma triggers
✔️ Personalized asthma action plans
✔️ Regular med check-ins with your care team
