    Sal But Amol

    Uploaded by

    Kay Miranda
    Albuterol is a bronchodilator used to relieve nasal congestion and bronchospasm. It works by binding to beta2-adrenergic receptors in the airways, increasing cAMP levels, and decreasing intracellular calcium levels, resulting in smooth muscle relaxation. It can be taken orally or via inhalation by adults and children over 4 years old to treat asthma, COPD, and exercise-induced bronchospasm. Nurses should monitor for paradoxical bronchospasm and instruct patients on proper administration and potential side effects like dry mouth.

    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. 1. 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- 35-adenosine monophosphate 2. (cAMP). When cAMP increases, kinases are activated. 3. Kinases inhibit the phosphorylation of myosin and decrease intracellular calcium. 4. Decreased in
