Buterol Oral Solution contains Bambuterol Hydrochloride 5 mg per 5 ml, a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist used for the management of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Bambuterol is a prodrug of Terbutaline, which is gradually converted in the body to provide sustained bronchodilation. This oral solution offers prolonged relief from bronchospasm, wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness. Its liquid form makes it suitable for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets, including children.

Composition

Active Ingredient: Bambuterol Hydrochloride

Mechanism of Action
Bambuterol is a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (LABA). It relaxes the smooth muscles in the bronchi by stimulating beta-2 receptors, which increases cyclic AMP levels. This bronchodilation improves airflow, reduces respiratory symptoms, and helps maintain open airways over a prolonged period.
The gradual conversion of Bambuterol to Terbutaline ensures a sustained therapeutic effect, allowing for once or twice daily dosing.
