氣喘或慢性阻塞性肺病 Bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
藥理
Albuterol sulfate, a sympathomimetic amine, is a beta-adrenergic agonist that selectively acts on the beta (2)-adrenergic receptors of intracellular adenyl cyclase, the catalyst for the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP). This action increases cyclic AMP levels resulting in bronchial smooth muscle relaxation and inhibition of release of immediate hypersensitivity mediators from mast cells
