Research Notes on Albuterol Uses
Albuterol is a prescription medication that is used to treat asthma, breathing problems, and other lung conditions. Albuterol is sometimes recommended for the treatment of COPD, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. Although albuterol can treat these conditions, it is not a cure and symptoms will return when albuterol is discontinued unless another medication is started.1
Fast Facts:
- Albuterol is a type of bronchodilator that works by relaxing the air passages and making breathing easier.2
- Albuterol is available in a liquid form that is used in a nebulizer or as an aerosol to be used in an inhaler.2
- Only use as much albuterol as your physician recommends, and do not use it more often than prescribed.2
