Drug introduction

Albuterol is a medication used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It belongs to a class of drugs called bronchodilators, which help widen the airways, thereby improving symptoms such as difficulty breathing and coughing. Albuterol, usually taken as an inhaler or aerosol, can quickly relieve spasms in the airways, allowing patients to breathe easier.

Before using albuterol, patients should carefully read the instructions provided by their doctor or pharmacist and use it as directed. During use, some common side effects may occur, such as tremors, rapid heartbeat, etc., but most patients can tolerate these side effects.

If you have a condition such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or thyroid problems, you should tell your doctor before using albuterol. Additionally, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical advice before use.

In short, albuterol is a commonly used bronchodilator that can effectively relieve the symptoms of respiratory diseases, but you should read the instructions carefully and follow your doctor's advice before use.

Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is 1 to 2 sprays every 4 to 6 hours, up to 4 times daily. If symptoms are severe, increase to 4 sprays each time.
