What is Albuterol
SalbutamolThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummarySalbutamol is a medication used to treat asthma and COPD. It works by stimulating receptors in the lungs, making it easier to breathe. Salbutamol is a mixture of two mirror-image molecules, the R-isomer and the S-isomer. The R-isomer is 150 times more effective than the S-isomer, but the S-isomer can be toxic so it is not used as much. Salbutamol is most commonly used for sudden asthma attacks and other chronic lung diseases like COPD. It can also be used to prevent asthma attacks when exercising. A single R-is

Effectiveness
How Albuterol Affects PatientsSalbutamol (or albuterol) is a medicine that helps open up the airways in the lungs, which is used to treat asthma and other breathing problems. It works by stimulating two types of receptors in the body, Beta-1 and Beta-2. This triggers effects like cardiac stimulation and peripheral vasodilatation, as well as tremor and relaxation of the uterus. It can also cause changes in blood sugar and insulin levels, and can lower potassium levels in the blood.
How Albuterol works in the bodySalbutamol is a drug that works to relax the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. It works by activating beta2-adrenergic receptors on the surface of cells in the airways, which triggers a series of reactions that lead to smooth muscle relaxation. This drug has a stronger effect on airway smooth muscle than other similar drugs and has fewer side effects on the heart. Salbutamol can start to work within 5 to 15 minutes and its effects can last up to 6 hours.

Albuterol Reviews: What are patients saying about Albuterol?
5Patient Review
2/2/2016 This emergency asthma treatment has been a lifesaver for me. It's much better than going to the ER and usually has me breathing almost normally by the end. The only downside is that it makes me a bit shaky.
5Patient Review
3/19/2017 I can breathe comfortably again!
5Patient Review
9/14/2021 I was recently hospitalized for heart failure and diagnosed with severe lung damage from smoking. I had difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, a cough, and wheezing episodes. Upon my release, I was prescribed Albuterol Inhaler. I immediately felt an improvement in my respiratory health and this continues to be the case.
4.7Patient Review
6/27/2020 This treatment was really effective for me. I think it might have even prevented an asthma attack! The only negative side effect I experienced was a bit of trembling.
4.3Patient Review
3/10/2022 I was hesitant to use an inhaler at first, but my doctor recommended this product when I started having asthma symptoms. After using it a few times, I really noticed a difference. It's helped me a lot and is the only thing that has prevented me from feeling an asthma attack. The only side effect I've noticed is that I get very shaky after using the inhaler.
4.3Patient Review
12/31/2021 This treatment is very effective for lung problems and it prevented me from getting pneumonia.
3.7Patient Review
3/23/2017 I've been taking this medication since I was a kid and it always does the job, though sometimes I need to take other drugs in conjunction with it.
3.7Patient Review
6/20/2022 While this medication does help me breathe better, it unfortunately also makes my heart rate spike and gives me a nasty tremor.
3.3Patient Review
6/14/2016 While this drug did provide some cough relief, it unfortunately didn't do much to help open my airways. On the plus side, it was very easy to use.
3Patient Review
8/30/2016 While it's not as effective as some of the other options out there, it is considerably more affordable.
2.3Patient Review
6/24/2016 Contains milk and lactose. My wife, who is severely allergic to milk, took this product after being prescribed by her doctor.
2.3Patient Review
4/21/2020 I had used ventolin in the past with great results, but this new albuterol sulfate just didn't cut it. I didn't get any relief from it whatsoever.
2.3Patient Review
4/21/2020 I have used Ventolin in the past with great results, but this new Albuterol sulfate didn't work at all. I felt no difference and got no relief from it.
1.7Patient Review
3/27/2022 I have emphysema, not asthma. I really rely on a rescue inhaler to help me with serious breathing problems. Sandoz Albuterol Inhaler unfortunately did nothing for me except give me a rapid heart rate and make it hard to breathe.
1Patient Review
5/5/2020 The generic version of Albuterol Sulfate HFA 90 MCG Inhaler that my insurance company will pay for is absolute garbage. The spray is weak, the safety cap is difficult to remove, and it's just overall ineffective.
1Patient Review
5/16/2020 This did nothing for my COPD. I would have been better off with nothing at all.
Patient Q&A Section about albuterol
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.Does albuterol have side effects?
"An side effect of albuterol inhalers is tremor, which manifests as shaking. This affects approximately one out of every five people who use albuterol inhalers."
Answered by AI
Is albuterol a steroid?
"No, albuterol is not a steroid. Albuterol is a beta-agonist, which means it attaches to beta-receptors in your airways in order to help you breathe."
Answered by AI
What is a albuterol used for?
"Albuterol is used to treat or prevent bronchospasm (narrowing of airways) in patients with asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and other lung diseases. It is also used to prevent bronchospasm caused by exercise. Albuterol belongs to the family of medicines known as adrenergic bronchodilators."
Answered by AI
How quickly does albuterol work?
"You should expect to see an improvement in your symptoms within minutes of taking albuterol. Albuterol typically provides relief for four to six hours, though in some cases it can last even longer. It's a good idea to keep albuterol on hand in case you need quick relief from your symptoms."
