About Salbutamol

Salbutamol, widely known by its iconic brand name Ventolin, is the most commonly used asthma medication in Nigeria and across the world. It belongs to a class of drugs called short-acting beta-2 agonists (SABAs), which work by rapidly relaxing the muscles surrounding the airways in the lungs. When an asthma attack occurs, the airways become narrow and inflamed, making it difficult to breathe. Salbutamol quickly opens up these airways, providing relief within minutes. The blue Ventolin inhaler is instantly recognisable in pharmacies from Ikeja to Kano, and it has become synonymous with asthma treatment in Nigeria. It is listed on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, reflecting its critical importance in global healthcare.
