How Does It Work?

Salbutamol works by activating adenyl cyclase, the enzyme which stimulates the production of cyclic adenosine-3′, 5′-monophosphate (cAMP). Increased cAMP levels, leads to the activation of protein kinase A, which inhibits the phosphorylation of myosin and lowers intracellular ionic calcium concentrations, resulting in smooth muscle relaxation.
