Albuterol also known as Salbutamol Sulphate. Salbutamol is the derivative of Albuterol. It is of Synthetic origin and belongs to Phenylbutylalcohol. It belongs to Beta-2 adrenergic agonist pharmacological group on the basis of mechanism of action and also classified in Bronchodilator pharmacological group.The Molecular Weight of Albuterol is 239.30. Its pKa is 9.3, 10.3.

Albuterol is contraindicated in conditions like Cardiac arrhythmia,Diabetes mellitus,Hypertension,Thyrotoxicosis,Ischaemic heart disease,Hypersensitivity,Antepartum haemorrhage,Toxaemia of pregnancy.

The severe or irreversible adverse effects of Albuterol, which give rise to further complications include Tachycardia, Hypokalemia, Sinus bradycardia, Ventricular ectopics, Peripheral vasodilatation.The signs and symptoms that are produced after the acute overdosage of Albuterol include Flushing, nervousness, Hypokalemia, Palpitations, CNS stimulation, Tremor, Agitation, Weakness.The symptomatic adverse reactions produced by Albuterol are more or less tolerable and if they become severe, they can be treated symptomatically, these include Headache, Nausea, Vomiting, Anxiety, Palpitation, Tremor, Muscle cramps, Heart burn, Appetite stimulation.

Albuterol is known to interact with other drugs, the details of drug interactions is as follows:DrugDetailsSeverityOnsetManagementAmiloride (HCl)Should not use concurrently without doctors prescription.Chlorothiazidehypokalemia may be enhanced by co adminstration of diruretcs such as chlorothiazide wtih salbutamol Should not use concurrently without doctors prescription.Digoxincoadministration of salbutamol with cardiac glycosides produce fall in plasma concentrations and decrease serum concentration of digoxinEphedrineShould not use concurrently without doctors prescription.FurazolidoneShould not use concurrently without doctors prescription.HydrochlorothiazideShould not use concurrently without doctors prescription.MetipranololInfrequent reports of METIPRANOLOL [EYE] reducing the BRONCHODILATOR effect of SALBUTAMOL. MajorPancuronium (Br)salbutamol enhace neuromuscular blockade produced by neuromuscular blockers e.g pancuronium and vecuroniumPhenelzineShould not use concurrently without doctors prescription.Propranolol (HCl)co administration of salbutamol with beta blockers such as propanolol, salmeterol , may have a additive effects to contro acute bronchospasm, reduce the sensitivity to salbutamolShould not use concurrently without doctors prescription.Pseudoephedrine (HCl)Should not use concurrently without doctors prescription.Selegiline (HCl)Should not use concurrently without doctors prescription.Spironolactonehypokalemia may be enhanced by co adminstration of diruretcs such as spironolactone Should not use concurrently without doctors prescription.TheophyllineAn enhanced hypokalemic effect may occur during co administration of salbutamol and theophylline Timolol (Maleate)Should not use concurrently without doctors prescription.Tranylcypromine (Sulphate)Should not use concurrently without doctors prescription. These interactions are sometimes beneficial and sometimes may pose threats to life. Always consult your physician for the change of dose regimen or an alternative drug of choice that may strictly be required.

Drug should not be given to Paediatrics, Pregnant Mothers, Cardiac / Hypertensive Patients, Geriatrics, and Neonates.If prescribing authority justifies the benefits of the drug against the possible damages he/she should reevaluate them and consult the reference material and previous studies.
