Salbutamol stimulates beta₂ receptors in the airway muscles, causing them to relax. This widens the air passages (bronchodilation), allowing air to flow more freely into and out of the lungs, resulting in easier breathing. It usually starts working within minutes and can provide relief for 4–6 hours.
