I have used albuterol for over 20 years.  I am 39 years old.  Today I had a bone density test and came up with...low bone density.  I'm perplexed as I am fit, healthy, great diet, etc.  There is no reason I should have this and can only think it may be the albuterol.

Hi Jim,

 

I can find no mention of bone loss in connection with albuterol, so it seems unlikely that it is the cause of your low bone density. It's important to realize that not everything with our bodies is explainable. However, I did find an interesting article on fit men and low bone density that you may want to read:

To your health,
