Albuterol is considered a "rescue" medication due to its rapid onset of
action. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways. Asthmatic
episodes are associated with airflow limitation or reversible obstruction.
Albuterol is a beta2 adrenergic agonist used for the treatment of acute
exacerbations of asthma by promoting bronchodilation and suppressing
histamine release in the lungs. This medication can be given by inhalation,
orally, or as a parenteral preparation. The inhaled medication has a more
rapid onset of action than the oral form and also reduces the risk for the
adverse effects of irritability, tremor, nervousness, and insomnia.
