Ventolin is a prescription medication containing salbutamol (also known as albuterol), a fast-acting bronchodilator that helps open the airways in the lungs. It is commonly prescribed for the relief and prevention of bronchospasm associated with asthma and certain other respiratory conditions.

Salbutamol works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, making breathing easier during episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, or shortness of breath. Treatment should follow the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
