Bronchodilator: Albuterol is a beta 2 agonist that stimulates the muscles in the airways to open up if they are in spasm. Typically the medicine is inhaled via a meter dosed inhaler (mdi), or a nebulizer and also available as a oral liquid.

Opens airways: Albuterol is a short acting, generally inhaled medication that opens up the airways in your lungs if they have been narrowed due to "bronchospasm." or wheezing. It is used to treat many lung conditions such as asthma, COPD (emphysema and chronic obstructive bronchitis), cystic fibrosis, and bronchiectasis.
