DESCRIPTION
Albuterol Sulfate Syrup contains albuterol sulfate, USP, the racemic
form of albuterol and
a relatively selective beta
-adrenergic bronchodilator. Albuterol sulfate has the chemical
name α
-[( _tert_-butylamino methyl]-4-hydroxy- _m_-xylene-α,α'-diol
sulfate (2:1) (salt) and
the following structural formula:

Albuterol sulfate is a white crystalline powder, soluble in water and
slightly soluble in
ethanol.
The World Health Organization recommended name for albuterol base is
salbutamol.
Albuterol Sulfate Syrup for oral administration contains 2 mg of
albuterol as 2.4 mg of
albuterol sulfate in each teaspoonful (5 mL). Albuterol Sulfate Syrup
also contains the
inactive ingredients citric acid, FD&C Yellow #6, flavor enhancer,
hypromellose,
propylene glycol, purified water, sodium benzoate, sodium citrate,
strawberry flavor.
Sodium hydroxide may be added to adjust pH.
The pH of the syrup is 3.5 to 4.5.
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
least in part attributable to stimulation through beta-adrenergic
receptors of intracellular
adenyl cyclase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine
triphosphate
(ATP) to cyclic-3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP).
