Both are fine but albuterol will make you shakey(shake your hands or arms or a body part) so use a low dosage) A good medicine that works but isn't as powerful as albuterol is Xopenex.
The most commonly prescribed medication for asthma relief is albuterol. It comes as an inhaler or as nebulizer ampules.
Albuterol can be used without a nebulizer by using an inhaler, commonly referred to as a metered-dose inhaler (MDI). To use it, shake the inhaler, exhale fully, then place the mouthpiece in your mouth, seal your lips around it, and press down on the inhaler while inhaling deeply and slowly. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds before exhaling. If you have difficulty coordinating this, a spacer device can help improve medication delivery.
Albuterol

Albuterol is the active ingredient and can be used either with an inhaler or through a nebulizer. it will do the same thing but just through a different mechanism. My son does better through the nebulizer as more of the medicine gets to his lungs but would be ok through an inhaler for an older person who understands better how to inhale it through the inhaler.
It doesn't.
Albuterol is not an MAOI
The propellant for inhalers is changing and the old CFC propellant ones cannot be sold after December 31, 2008. Probably you will still be taking the same drug, just the delivery system will change. The jury is still out on pros and cons of albuterol during pregnancy.
Albuterol is a short acting drug, and is usually taken through an inhaler for people with asthma.
abuterol sulfate is non narcotic.
I'm about a Ventolin inhaler but in an Albuterol inhaler the only things in it are Ventolin ethanol and oliec acid
To determine how many inhalation doses can be delivered from a 20mg Albuterol inhaler with each dose containing 90mcg, first convert 20mg to micrograms: 20mg is equal to 20,000mcg. Then, divide the total amount of Albuterol by the dosage per inhalation: 20,000mcg ÷ 90mcg/dose = approximately 222.22 doses. Therefore, the inhaler can deliver about 222 doses.
