    Salbutamol is a bronchodilator used to treat asthma and COPD by relaxing the smooth muscles of the bronchioles. It works by binding to beta2-adrenergic receptors, increasing cAMP levels, and inhibiting phosphorylation of myosin to decrease calcium and relax airways. Potential side effects include nervousness, tremors, and palpitations. It is administered via inhalation every 12 hours, and patients should be monitored for paradoxical bronchospasm and other side effects when using this medication.

    It relieves nasal congestion and reversible bronchospasm by relaxing the smooth muscles of the bronchioles. The relief from nasal congestion and bronchospasm is made possible by the following mechanism that takes place when Salbutamol is administered. First, it binds to the beta2-adrenergic receptors in the airway of the smooth muscle which then leads to the activation of the adenyl cyclase and increased levels of cyclic- 35adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). When cAMP increases, kinases are activated. Kinases inhibit the phosphorylation of
