Salbute Injection
Salbute Injection is a fast-acting bronchodilator containing Salbutamol (Albuterol), designed to relieve bronchospasms, airway obstruction, and respiratory distress in horses, camels, and cattle.
It enhances oxygen delivery, supports athletic performance, and provides relief from respiratory inflammation caused by infections, allergies, or environmental stress.
Active Constituent (per mL)
-
Salbutamol Sulfate (equiv. to Salbutamol base) – 5 mg
(Formulation may vary slightly depending on region of manufacture.)
Pharmacological Action
Salbutamol is a β₂-adrenergic agonist that acts directly on smooth muscle receptors in the bronchi, promoting muscle relaxation and airway dilation.
It improves airflow and oxygen exchange, reduces airway resistance, and increases performance capacity in working or racing animals.
Indications
✅ Relief of bronchospasms and airway obstruction
✅ Treatment of chronic and acute respiratory conditions
✅ Supportive therapy for respiratory infections (pneumonia, bronchitis)
✅ Improvement of respiratory efficiency during exercise
✅ Management of allergic or dust-induced airway irritation
Target Species
🐎 Horses
🐪 Camels
🐄 Cattle
