salbutamol

Salbutamol is a medication used to help open airways in the lungs, making it easier to breathe. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Salbutamol works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, reducing constriction and allowing air to flow more freely. It is usually inhaled using a inhaler or nebulizer for quick relief during breathing difficulties. While effective, it should be used as directed by a healthcare provider to manage symptoms and prevent overuse, which can lead to side effects like rapid heartbeat or shakiness.
