Salbutamol is the international nonproprietary name (INN) while albuterol is the United States Adopted Name (USAN). [36] The drug is usually manufactured and distributed as the sulfate salt (salbutamol sulfate). It was first sold by Allen & Hanburys (UK) under the brand name Ventolin, and has been used for the treatment of asthma ever since. [37]
[1] [4] [5] It contains ipratropium (an anticholinergic) and salbutamol (albuterol, a β 2-adrenergic agonist). [1] Common side effects include sore throat, muscle cramps, and nausea. [1] Other side effects may include bronchospasm, allergic reactions, and upper respiratory tract infections. [1] Safety in pregnancy is unclear. [6] [1]
[1] [2] It is a combination of salbutamol sulfate (albuterol sulfate), a short-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist, and budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid. [1] [2] It is inhaled using a pressurized metered-dose inhaler. [1] [2] The most common side effects include headache, oral candidiasis, cough, and difficulty speaking. [2]
LABAs are designed to reduce the need for shorter-acting β 2 agonists such as salbutamol (albuterol), as they have an approximately twelve-hour duration of action, compared to about five hours for salbutamol, making them candidates for sparing high doses of corticosteroids [citation needed] or treating nocturnal asthma and providing ...
Corticosteroids and bronchodilators such as salbutamol (albuterol USAN) are often used, and sometimes in combination with ipratropium. The reason these pharmaceuticals are inhaled instead of ingested is in order to target their effect to the respiratory tract , which speeds onset of action of the medicine and reduces side effects, compared to ...
An inhaler (puffer, asthma pump or allergy spray) is a medical device used for delivering medicines into the lungs through the work of a person's breathing. This allows medicines to be delivered to and absorbed in the lungs, which provides the ability for targeted medical treatment to this specific region of the body, as well as a reduction in the side effects of oral medications.
[5] [6] It is used to treat rhinorrhea (runny nose) caused by allergic rhinitis, nonallergic rhinitis, [5] and the common cold. [7] [2] It is used by metered-dose manual pump spray. Onset of action is within an hour. [7] Common side effects of inhalant use include dry mouth, cough, inflammation of the airways, [3] and shortness of breath. [8]
Type A: augmented pharmacological effects, which are dose-dependent and predictable [5]; Type A reactions, which constitute approximately 80% of adverse drug reactions, are usually a consequence of the drug's primary pharmacological effect (e.g., bleeding when using the anticoagulant warfarin) or a low therapeutic index of the drug (e.g., nausea from digoxin), and they are therefore predictable.
