2. Salbutamol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salbutamol

   Albuterol increases energy expenditure by 10-15 percent at a therapeutic dose for asthma and around 25 percent at a higher, oral dose. In several human studies, albuterol increased lean body mass, reduced fat mass, and caused lipolysis; it has been studied for use as an anti-obesity and anti-muscle wasting medication when taken orally.

3. Nebulizer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebulizer

   Beyond use in chronic lung disease, nebulizers may also be used to treat acute issues like the inhalation of toxic substances. One such example is the treatment of inhalation of toxic hydrofluoric acid (HF) vapors. [8] Calcium gluconate is a first-line treatment for HF exposure to the skin. By using a nebulizer, calcium gluconate is delivered ...

   A 2013 systematic review of the drug's use as a treatment for acute asthma found that it "was not superior to albuterol regarding efficacy and safety in subjects with acute asthma." The review concluded: "We suggest that levalbuterol should not be used over albuterol for acute asthma." [2] Levalbuterol is notably more costly. [4] [5]

5. Beta2-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

   Salbutamol or albuterol and some other β 2 agonists, such as formoterol, also are sold in a solution form for nebulization, which is more commonly used than inhalers in emergency rooms. [9] Nebulizers continuously deliver aerosolized drug and salbutamol delivered through nebulizer was found to be more effective than IV administration. [10]

   Nicotine inhalers also exist as non-MDIs; for example, the format for the Nicorette Inhalator is an "inhalation vapour solution." Dry powder inhalers involve micronized powder, often packaged in single-dose quantities in blisters or gel capsules containing the powdered medication to be drawn into the lungs by the user's breath.

7. Long-acting beta-adrenoceptor agonist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-acting_beta...

   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 ...
