Albuterol is a short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) inhaler used to prevent bronchospasm caused by exercise-induced asthma. It works quickly to relax the airway muscles, helping to prevent symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness triggered by physical activity.
Typical Usage:
For exercise induced asthma,tTypically used as 2 inhalations 5 to 20 minutes before exercise, as directed by your healthcare provider.
Shake the inhaler well before use.
Inhale slowly and deeply while pressing down on the inhaler. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale slowly.
Prime before the first use, or if the inhaler has not been used for more than 2 weeks, by spraying 3 to 4 test sprays into the air, away from the face.
