Albuterol Sulfate

Description

What is Albuterol sulfate?

Albuterol sulfate is the sulfate form of albuterol which is also known as salbutamol. It is a kind of short-acting, selective beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist being capable of opening up the medium and large airways in the lungs. It is mainly used for the treatment of bronchospasm (induced by bronchial asthma or exercise) as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Albuterol sulfate takes effects through directly biding to the beta (2)-adrenergic receptors in the lung and causing relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles. This relaxation is mediated by its effect of stimulating cAMP production through activating adenylate cyclase, further inhibiting the phosphorylation of myosin and lowering the intracellular calcium level. Albuterol sulfate can also be used to treat acute hyperkalemia of the blood.
