Ventolin contains albuterol sulfate, a beta-2 adrenergic agonist. It acts on the beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the lungs, causing the smooth muscle of the airways to relax and dilate. This rapid action makes it effective as a rescue inhaler for sudden asthma symptoms and pre-exercise asthma symptom prevention.

Description

Ventolin, with the active ingredient albuterol (also known as salbutamol in some countries), is a medication primarily used to relieve and prevent bronchospasm in patients with asthma or other obstructive airways diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making breathing easier. Ventolin is available in various forms, including inhalers, solutions for use in nebulizers, tablets, and syrup. It is one of the most common treatments for asthma and COPD exacerbations.
