Salbutamol Tablets IP 2mg Uses
Salbutamol is a bronchodilator used to relieve symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and other lung conditions that cause narrowing of the airways. It helps in easing breathing difficulties such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Salbutamol tablets are typically used for maintenance therapy or as needed for symptom relief, as directed by a doctor.
How Salbutamol Works
Salbutamol is a selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, which opens up the air passages and makes breathing easier. The effect starts within 30 minutes after oral administration and lasts for about 4-6 hours.

- Headache
- Increased heart rate or palpitations
