Asmol Inhaler (Salbutamol) is a short-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. It achieves this by binding to beta-2 receptors in the lungs, triggering a cascade that leads to bronchodilation.

Store at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Check the specific storage instructions on your prescription label.
