Albuterol Inhaler belongs to the class of drugs called beta₂–adrenergic agonist which relaxes the smooth muscles located in the airways to aid the passage of air through the lungs and thus increases air flow to the lungs.

Inhalers are used as the first-line therapy for the treatment of asthma.

Generic Albuterol Inhaler should be administered exactly as suggested by your doctor. Albuterol Inhaler (Asthalin 100 mcg Inhaler) should be administered at evenly spaced time intervals between the time you wake up in the morning and the time you go to bed.

You should also prime the inhaler device if it has been unused for longer than 10 days.
If your doctor has prescribed a dosage of 2 puffs, you must wait at least one minute between each puff. To prevent the development of side effects such as dry mouth, hoarseness, and oral yeast infections, fill your mouth with water and rinse it out after each dosage. You must count the number of inhalations used in a particular inhalation device so that you can throw away the canister after using the designated number of inhalations printed on the package, even if it feels as though there is some amount of medication left in the canister. You should carefully follow the instructions for cleaning the Albuterol Inhaler. Do not wash the inhaler with water.

Albuterol Mechanism of Action – How Does Asthalin Work?

Asthalin Inhaler contains Albuterol Sulphate as the active ingredient. Albuterol Sulfate belongs to a class of medications called beta-2-adrenergic agonist, which stimulates the beta-2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs. This receptor activation in the lungs relaxes the smooth muscles in the bronchial respiratory pathways. Albuterol Sulfate is known to activate the enzyme adenylate cyclase to raise the synthesis of cAMP molecules in the cell.
The production of cAMP molecules in the cell is responsible for the therapeutic consequences of Albuterol Sulfate. Increased levels of cAMP within the cell bring about an increase in the action of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A, an enzyme which hinders the phosphorylation of myosin and moderates the calcium levels. When there is a decrease in the amount of calcium in the cell, the smooth muscles in the bronchial pathways undergo a relaxation effect, resulting in bronchodilation. Albuterol Inhaler also impedes the action of bronchoconstricting substances which are discharged by mast cells, obstructs microvascular leakage, and enhances mucociliary clearance. Regular long-term use of Albuterol Inhaler alleviates characteristic symptoms of COPD such as shortness of breath, chronic cough with sputum production, tightness of the chest and wheezing. 

Asthalin Inhaler - Missed Dose

If you miss your regular dose of Albuterol Inhaler, take it as soon as you remember. You can continue your regular schedule the next day. If you remember the missed Albuterol Inhaler the next day, take your regular dose and skip the missed dose.
