Ventolin

Ventolin (albuterol) is a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist indicated for the treatment or prevention of bronchospasm in patients with reversible obstructive airway disease, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and for the prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm. By selectively activating beta-2 receptors on airway smooth muscle, albuterol produces rapid bronchodilation, supporting prompt symptomatic relief. Ventolin is supplied as a metered-dose inhaler, nebulizer solution, and oral formulations, allowing flexible administration across pediatric and adult populations. It is used as part of comprehensive asthma and COPD care under appropriate medical guidance.
