DESCRIPTION
Albuterol Sulfate Inhalation Solution, 0.5% contains albuterol
sulfate, USP, the racemic form of
albuterol and a relatively selective beta
-adrenergic bronchodilator (see CLINICAL
PHARMACOLOGY section below). Albuterol sulfate has the chemical name
α

Albuterol sulfate is a white crystalline powder, soluble in water and
slightly soluble in ethanol. The
World Health Organization’s recommended name for albuterol base is
salbutamol.
Albuterol sulfate inhalation solution, 0.5%, is in concentrated form.
Dilute 0.5 mL of the solution to 3
mL with sterile normal saline solution prior to administration by
nebulization (see DOSAGE AND
ADMINISTRATION).
EACH 0.5 ML UNIT-OF-USE VIAL CONTAINS: ACTIVE: 2.5 mg of albuterol
(equivalent to 3 mg of
albuterol sulfate, USP) in a sterile, aqueous solution; sulfuric acid
is used to adjust the pH to between 3
and 5. Albuterol sulfate inhalation solution contains no sulfiting
agents or preservatives. It is supplied
in 0.5 mL sterile Unit-of-Use Vials.
Albuterol sulfate inhalation solution is a clear, colorless to light
yellow solution.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
_In vitro_ studies and _in vivo_ pharmacologic studies have
demonstrated that albuterol has a preferential
effect on beta
-adrenergic receptors compared with isoproterenol. While it is
recognized that beta
-
adrenergic receptors are the predominant receptors in bronchial smooth
muscle, data indicate that there
is a population of beta
-receptors in the human heart existing in a concentration between 10%
and 50%.
The precise function of these receptors has not been established (see
WARNINGS).
The pharmacologic effects of beta-adrenergic agonist drugs, including
albuterol, are at leas
