ABSTRACT
A 25-year-old female, housewife, Nonsmoker, with complains of Dysnoea and pain in chest was diagnosed with Bronchial asthma in the Out Patient Department of Pulmonary Medicine of our institute. As per the GINA guidelines she was prescribed nebulization with Salbutamol 5 mg for confirming the diagnosis of bronchial asthma. Within minutes of nebulization she started to have involuntary contraction involving all four limb and developed hand posture associated with tetany. The nebulization was stopped and symptoms were relieved after 15 minutes of the calcium administration. The causal relationship between the suspected drug and the adverse event was assessed to be probable and thus clinicians should always be aware of the possibility of tetany due to salbutamol
