Albuterol 5mg 30ml

Albuterol was first brought to market in 1968 by Allen and Hanburys of the United Kingdom, under the brand name Ventolin. Since then, it has been one of the most popular asthma drugs. In 1982, the FDA approved its use in the United States. It (albuterol sulfate) is a short-acting B2-adrenergic receptor agonist used for the relief of bronchospasm in such conditions as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It’s on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential medicines. This means that it is considered to be one of the most important medicines needed in a basic health system. It is a synthetic sympathomimetic amine that selectively stimulates beta-adrenoceptors. A racemic mixture, albuterol is short-acting and is relatively selective for beta-2 adrenoceptor sites. Beta adrenoceptor agonists stimulate the production of cyclic AMP through activation of adenylate cyclase. Cyclic AMP enhances the activity of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A and causes smooth muscle relaxation and inhibition of mast cell release in the airways. Albuterol has a greater effect on the beta-2 adrenoceptors in the bronchial tree, uterus, and vascular smooth muscles than on the beta-1 adrenoceptors in heart.

Albuterol is a member of the class of phenylethanolamines that is 4-(2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)phenol having a tert-butyl group attached to the nirogen atom. The chemical name for albuterol sulfate is α1 [(tert-butylamino) methyl]-4-hydroxy-m­ xylene-α, α’-diol sulfate (2:1) (salt)
