Salbutamol or albuterol is a short-acting beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist used for the relief of bronchospasm in conditions such as asthma and COPD. Salbutamol became available in the United Kingdom in 1969 and in the United States in 1980 under the trade name Ventolin.

Salbutamol is specifically indicated in the following conditions:

- acute asthma

- protection against exercise-induced asthma
- hyperkalemia, especially in patients with renal failure
- can be aerosolized for patients with Cystic Fibrosis, along with ipratropium bromide and pulmozyme.
