Salbutamol is a medication commonly used to treat asthma and other respiratory conditions. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. Salbutamol is often delivered through an inhaler, which allows for quick relief during an asthma attack. This drug is classified as a bronchodilator and is effective in opening up the air passages in the lungs. It can also be used to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm. While generally safe, it is important for users to follow their healthcare provider's instructions to avoid potential side effects.
