This formulation is often used in pediatric patients or patient populations who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.

This medication is indicated for the treatment of various respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, emphysema, and cystic fibrosis. Albuterol, the active ingredient, is a short-acting beta-2 agonist that works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, thereby improving airflow and providing relief from symptoms.

However, Albuterol should be used with caution in patients with certain health conditions. These include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or seizure disorders. It is not recommended for use in patients with known hypersensitivity to albuterol or any of its components. Patients with renal impairment should also exercise caution, as Albuterol may cause increased serum potassium levels.

Furthermore, Albuterol should be used with caution in patients taking other medications that may interact with it, such as beta-blockers, diuretics, or MAO inhibitors. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also be cautious, as Albuterol may cause adverse effects in the fetus or infant.

If you have any questions about the use of Albuterol 2 mg/5 ml Oral Syrup for the treatment of asthma, COPD, bronchitis, emphysema, or cystic fibrosis, please consult with a healthcare professional.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
