Salbutamol is a beta2-adrenergic agonist bronchodilator used to treat bronchospasm and prevent exercise-induced asthma. It works by binding to beta2-receptors in the lungs to relax bronchial smooth muscles. Salbutamol is administered via inhalation or orally and is used for both acute and maintenance treatment of conditions like asthma, bronchitis, and COPD. Dosing varies depending on age, with side effects including tremors, palpitations, and cough. Patients should be monitored for therapeutic response and educated on proper use and potential drug interactions.

1. Salbutamol

2. Albuterol Sulfate is a beta2-
adrenergic agonist .
Binding of Albuterol to beta2-
receptors in the lungs results
in relaxation of bronchial
smooth muscles.

3. Albuterol Sulfate is a
bronchodilator witch used For
symptomatic relief and
prevention of bronchospasm.

4. Prevent or treat bronchospasm in
patient with reversible obstructive
air way disease such as: asthma,
bronchitis, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease , Cystic fibrosis.
Prevent exercise-induced asthma.
Hyperkalemia.

5. Inhalation Rout :
available in inhaler spry and
inhaler solution.
Oral Route :
available in tablet and syrup.
Intravascular route:

6. For treatment of acute
bronchospasm
Less than 1 year :
0.05 to 0.15 mg /kg/dose every
4 to 6 hours.
From 1 year to 4 years:
1.25 to 2.5 mg every 4 to 6
hours.

7. From 5 years to 11 years:
2.5 mg every 4 to 6 hour.
12 years and older :
2.5 to 5 mg every 6 hours
Regular use as maintenance
therapy isn’t recommended

8. To prevent exercise-induced
bronchospasm:
adult and children age 4 years
and older:
2 buffs ( using metered dose
inhaler)15 min before exercise
up to 12 buffs may taken in 24
hours

9. CNS: tremors, anxiety,
insomnia, headache,
dizziness, restlessness,
hallucination, flushing,
irritability.
CV: palpation, tachycardia,
hypertension, angina,
hypotension, arrhythmia .

10. ENT: dry and irritation of
nose and throat
GI: heartburn, nausea,
vomiting,
 MS: muscle cramps.
RESP: cough, dyspnea,

11. Albuterol interact with
other adrenergic,
antidepressants, Steroids,
diuretics,
B-blockers inhibit the
action of Albuterol

12. Albuterol increase the
action of CNS stimulants and
decrease the digoxin level .
Albuterol increase the
caffeine stimulation.

13. Sing and symptoms:
Exaggeration of adverse
reaction, seizures, angina,
hypotension, hypokalemia.
Treatment:
Administration of B1 adrenergic
blocker.

14. Assess:
respiratory function ;vital
capacity, forced expiratory
volume, ABGs,lung sound hart
rate and rhythm, BP, sputum,
patient ability to self medicate
evidence of allergic reaction,
paradoxical bronchospasm.

15. Perform /provide:
storage in light resistance
container, don’t expose to
temperatures over 86 F (30 C).
Evaluate :
therapeutic response;
absence of dyspnea,
wheezing after one hour,
improve air way exchange .

16.  Teach patient /family:
to use exactly as prescribed; take
missed dose when remembered,
alter dosing schedule .
not to use OTC medication ;
excess stimulation may occur.
use of inhaler; use demonstration,
and to wash inhaler with warm
water .

17. use of inhaler; use demonstration,
and to wash inhaler with warm
water.
to avoid getting medicine in the
eye; blurring of vision my result .
to limit caffeine in take.
to stop drug immediately and call
the doctor when paradoxical
bronchospasm occur.

18. Don’t confuse
Albuterol /atenolol or albutein.
Salbutamol /salmeterol
Ventolin /vantin
