Albuterol inhaler is usually used in cases of asthma. Bronchospasm occurs during an asthma attack which causes difficulty breathing and can be mild or severe. In Normal or non-asthmatic condition, air travel in and out of our lungs through a network of airways (bronchi) easily. The airways are relaxed and the tissues are thin.

During an asthma attack or an asthmatic condition, the muscles surrounding the airways (bronchi) thicken and tighten and the airways are inflamed and filled with mucus. This makes it difficult for air to circulate around causing difficulty breathing.

What causes asthma?

Asthma can be triggered by environmental factors or physical. Environmental factors could be due to inhalation of cigarette smoke, strong odors of chemicals or aerosol cleaners. Physical factors could be due to colds or flu, or excessive exercise or under-stress.

An inhaler Albuterol is fundamentally a medical device. It contains Albuterol inside a metal canister and releases the drug when used by means of metered-dose inhalers. It is generally used during a severe asthma attack.

Note: Albuterol is a type of medicine (also known as bronchodilators) that provides rapid relief of asthma symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing and wheezing. It is part of a class of drugs against asthma called beta-agonists adrenergic agonists or beta, for short.

What Albuterol Inhaler Used For:

An inhaler Albuterol is used mainly to relieve asthma or chronic bronchitis symptoms, or preventing the symptoms of exercise-induced asthma. It can be used by adults or children with at least 12 years and over.

How it works:

When used, the MDI (meter-dosed inhaler) Albuterol liquid transforms into a fine mist that is then inhaled through the mouth (also known as a puff) or sometimes with an additional device called spacer. Albuterol is a drug, and then relax the smooth muscles of the airways of the trachea all the way down to the smallest Airways.

Other information:

Each puff contains 90 micrograms of Albuterol medicine. 2 puffs are needed as usual dose to relieve asthma and may be repeated every 4-6 hours. For exercise-induced asthma, it is recommended to use 15-30 minutes before any physical activity.

An inhaler Albuterol is available in two types of inhalers, CFC and HFA inhaler-type inhaler.
