How does Albutamol work?

Dr. R.K Singh MBBS , Diabetology

Albutamol is a bronchodilator which causes widening of bronchial smooth muscles present in lungs which get tightened causing a constriction. Due to the constriction, the air cannot pass in and out of your lungs, and the relaxation of these bronchial muscles results in dilation of airways.
