Salbutamol, also known as albuterol in the U.S., is a fast-acting bronchodilator used to relieve symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and breathlessness in conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by stimulating beta-2 adrenoceptors in the bronchial muscles, causing them to relax and dilate, thus widening the airways and easing breathing.
