Ep202 Medication: Salbutamol pMDI

A patient is wheezing, short of breath, and reaches for their blue reliever inhaler. But what exactly is salbutamol, how does it work, and when should it be used?

In this episode, you’ll learn how a salbutamol pressurised metered dose inhaler, or pMDI, works, when it is indicated, and how it helps relieve bronchospasm. You’ll also discover the role of spacers, common side effects, and why not every patient with breathing difficulty is having an asthma attack.
