albuterol

I have a son who is few years ago diagnosed with asthma. Somehow, we get used to this condition, and we take care well about him. There we found helpful knowledge his doctor gave us about his disease. He uses medicines to relieve attack that occur from time to time. On his last doctor visit, he gets Albuterol as medicine to help him, so we want to hear more about this drug.

Albuterol is medicine usually used to prevent and treat wheezing, shortness of breath and emphysema. Off course, this medicine is well to use to treat troubled breathing caused by asthma and chronic bronchitis. After these indications, albuterol inhalation also is used to prevent breathing difficulties during exercise. This medicine works by relaxing and opening air passages in the lungs, making it easier to breathe. For Albuterol, as for any other medicine, is extremely important to tell the doctor and pharmacist what prescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products he already has been taking. I would recommend you to tell his doctor if he has or have ever had an irregular heartbeat, heart disease, high blood pressure, narrowing of the digestive tract, an overactive thyroid gland, diabetes, or seizures. All this is important before the doctor prescribe this medicine as a treatment for any of these indicated usages. Moreover, you should be prepared to some possible side effects that sometimes occur with Albuterol. He migh notice tremor, nervousness, dizziness, headaches, and difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Tell his doctor if any of these, or some other side effets occurs during albuterol therapy.
