Final Thoughts on Side Effects of Metaproterenol

It is possible that you may experience some or none of the side effects of metaproterenol explained above. Unfortunately, there is no way for your healthcare provider to know beforehand if you will have side effects from a medicine that you have never tried. Therefore, make sure to let your healthcare provider know if you develop any side effects while taking metaproterenol. Also let your healthcare provider know if you develop something that "just does not seem right" during treatment with this medicine. While it may not be a side effect of metaproterenol, your healthcare provider will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
