Description

Albuterol Sulfate 90 mcg Aerosol Metered-Dose Inhaler is a bronchodilator used for the treatment and prevention of bronchospasm in patients with reversible obstructive airway diseases. It acts as a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist, stimulating receptors in the airway smooth muscles to induce relaxation. This leads to rapid bronchodilation, improving airflow and relieving symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.

Each actuation of the metered-dose inhaler delivers 90 mcg of albuterol sulfate as a fine mist to the lungs. The inhaler contains 8.5 grams of formulation, providing approximately 200 doses. Proper inhalation technique is essential to ensure effective drug delivery. Patients are advised to shake the inhaler well before use and exhale fully before inhaling the medication.

Common side effects include tremors, nervousness, headache, tachycardia, and palpitations. Serious adverse effects such as paradoxical bronchospasm, hypokalemia, and arrhythmias may occur in rare cases. Patients with cardiovascular disorders, hyperthyroidism, or diabetes should use this medication with caution.
