Description
Key Features:
Active Ingredient: Albuterol Sulfate, a relatively selective beta2-adrenergic bronchodilator. The 0.083% strength usually refers to 2.5 mg of albuterol per 3 mL of solution (equivalent to 3 mg of albuterol sulfate).
Dosage Form: Inhalation solution, specifically designed for use with a nebulizer. It does not require dilution prior to administration.
Unit-Dose Vials: Supplied in sterile, clear, colorless unit-dose vials, typically 3 mL each, ensuring precise dosing and sterility for each treatment.
Packaging: Commonly available in cartons containing 30 individual vials.
Preservative-Free: This formulation is typically preservative-free, which can be important for patients sensitive to preservatives.
Sterile Aqueous Solution: The solution is isotonic and sterile, containing sodium chloride, and sulfuric acid to adjust pH.
Mechanism of Action: Albuterol works by stimulating beta2-adrenergic receptors in the airways, leading to the relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles, which helps to open the airways.
Uses:
The Rite-Dose 76204020030 (Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution) is indicated for the relief and prevention of bronchospasm (tightening and swelling of the muscles around the airways) in patients with reversible obstructive airway disease. Its primary uses include:
Asthma: A common treatment for children (typically aged 2 to 12 years and older, depending on the specific dosage and formulation) and adults with asthma to relieve acute symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Used for managing symptoms of COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, to improve breathing.
Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm: Can be used to prevent bronchospasm before exercise in susceptible individuals.
Emergency Situations: Often used as a "rescue" medication for rapid relief during an asthma attack or acute exacerbation of COPD due to its quick onset of action.
