a medicine that helps people breathe better by relaxing the muscles in their airways
Albuterol is a medication used to treat breathing difficulties caused by conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchitis. It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, allowing them to open up and improve airflow to the lungs. Albuterol is commonly given through an inhaler or nebulizer, delivering the medication directly to the lungs for quick relief of symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. It is a fast-acting medication that can provide quick relief during asthma attacks or flare-ups of COPD symptoms.
