Abstract

The cases of two asthmatic adolescents who overdosed on albuterol are presented. Both patients were tremulous, tachycardic, and hypokalemic. Both were treated successfully with IV propranolol. Neither patient developed bronchospasm. The toxicity of albuterol overdoses and its treatment are discussed.
