How Salbutamol Works
Salbutamol is used to prevent and treat shortness of breath, wheezing, and to improve lung functioning. It is prescribed mainly to people who suffer from asthma and asthma-related symptoms. Salbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways and increases air flow to the lungs. It can also be used to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm. Salbutamol is most commonly taken using an inhaler device. But it is also available is nebule form. Salbutamol works very quickly to relieve asthma attacks, wheezing, chest tightness or shortness of breath.
