Abstract
Three sibs with adynamia episodica hereditaria are described. Treatment with salbutamol inhalation had a beneficial effect on the duration of their adynamic attacks. Continuous peroral treatment with salbutamol has been tried in these patients resulting in the almost complete prevention of attacks. No serious adverse effects have been recorded. Peroral treatment with salbutamol is recommended as the treatment of choice in young patients with adynamia episodica hereditaria and in patients with frequent attacks of adynamia.Keywords
