Proventil (albuterol)

Proventil, which contains the active ingredient albuterol, is a medication primarily used to treat asthma and other conditions that cause wheezing and shortness of breath. It belongs to a class of drugs known as bronchodilators, which work by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. Proventil is typically delivered via an inhaler, allowing it to act quickly when symptoms arise. It is often used on an as-needed basis for immediate relief of asthma symptoms. As with any medication, it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
