Buterol Tablet contains Bambuterol Hydrochloride 10 mg, a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist used for the treatment and prevention of bronchospasm in 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 prolonged bronchodilation. This ensures sustained relief from wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness, making it suitable for long-term maintenance therapy.

Composition
-
Active Ingredient: Bambuterol Hydrochloride

Dosage Form: Oral tablet
Mechanism of Action
Bambuterol is a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (LABA). It stimulates beta-2 receptors in the bronchial smooth muscles, increasing cyclic AMP levels, which relaxes the airways. This bronchodilation improves airflow, reduces bronchospasm, and helps control chronic respiratory symptoms.
As a prodrug, Bambuterol is slowly metabolized into Terbutaline, providing extended duration of action, typically allowing for once or twice daily dosing.
