Salbutamol

Description

Adrenergic bronchodilators are medicines that are used to open up the bronchial tubes (air passages) of the lungs. Some of these medicines are used to treat the symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and other lung diseases, while others are used to prevent the symptoms.
Salbutamol relaxes the smooth muscle in the lungs and opens airways to improve breathing. It is used to treat asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and to prevent exercise-related asthma.
The drug is also a good means of prevention and treatment of overweight. It depresses the appetite, which leads to weight loss. In addition, the combination of ephedrine and caffeine gives thermogenic effect (metaphorically speaking, this is the "browning" of fat cells to their total destruction).
