albuterol

Albuterol is a medication that helps open the airways in your lungs, making it easier to breathe. It works by relaxing the muscles around the bronchial tubes, which are the passages that carry air in and out of the lungs. Albuterol is commonly used to treat asthma and other conditions that cause breathing difficulties, especially during attacks or flare-ups. It is usually taken using an inhaler or nebulizer, providing quick relief from symptoms like wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions when using albuterol.
