What is Albuterol? How does it act?

Albuterol is both the name of the active substance and one of the trademarks under which the formulation is sold under. It is a selective stimulator of beta2-adrenoreceptors that is used for the therapy of asthma and other diseases that cause suffocation through the obstruction of bronchi. The formulation dilates the bronchi through the relaxation of the smooth muscles of the bronchi.
The formulation acts quickly especially in a form of an inhaler and can be used as an urgency aid in a suffocation episode. The effect starts to manifest in 4-5 minutes and achieves the maximum in 40 to 60 minutes and is maintained within four to six hours.
The most pronounced effect is achieved in the use of two dosages which is the maximum per time of use and can be utilized if the single dosage wasn’t sufficient. The further increase of the dosages doesn’t contribute to the improvement of symptoms but substantially raises the likelihood of adverse effects such as tremor, headache, dizziness, and others.
The medication also alleviates the sputum expectoration (spitting) in acute bronchitis and helps to prevent allergic bronchospasm as it prevents the inflammation mediators’ release.
To save on the therapy when you need to buy Albuterol, you can opt for a medication with the same active substance but with a less known name.

Indications for Albuterol use

- Emergency treatment of an asthma attack;
- Emergency treatment in suffocation attacks in other diseases in which the obstruction of the airways occurs such as chronic bronchitis, COPD, and emphysema.
- Prevention of a bronchospasm or asthma attacks in the contact of an allergen or induced by physical exercise.
- Prophylaxis and prevention of bronchospasms in the combined therapy of asthma.
Please note that these diseases require a proper diagnosis and the treatment chosen by a specialist. You can buy generic Albuterol online without Rx but for your own safety and to ensure that you get the best results from the therapy you should first consult a medical practitioner.

Albuterol dosage recommendations

At this webpage, you can buy Salbutamol in a form of an inhaler. Here you can find the general dosing instructions but for the instruction for inhaler use please see the package insert.
The single dosage received through one inhalation contains 100 mcg of Albuterol.
- Acute bronchospasm in adults and children is treated with the inhalation of one dosage but if the effect is insufficient, the maximum of two inhalations can be made.
- For the prevention of an allergy or physical exercise-induced asthma attack in adults and kids over 12 years, two inhalations must be made 10-15 minutes before the anticipated contact with an allergen or physical exercise. For the kids younger than 12 years one inhalation can be sufficient but if it isn’t, the maximum of two inhalations can be made.
- The maintenance therapy in both adults and children is made with 2 inhalations repeated four times a day if the doctor does not prescribe otherwise.
Please note that these are general recommendations but it is always preferable to follow the individually chosen ones.
If during the inhaler use a patient experiences the increased need for the use of beta-2 antagonists, it means that the treated condition had worsened and the therapy must be revised.
