The active ingredient of albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol is albuterol sulfate, a racemic salt, of albuterol. Albuterol sulfate has the chemical name α 1 -[( tert -butylamino) methyl]-4-hydroxy- m -xylene-α,α'-diol sulfate (2:1) (salt), and has the following chemical structure: The molecular weight of albuterol sulfate is 576.7, and the empirical formula is (C 13 H 21 NO 3 ) 2 • H 2 SO 4 . Albuterol sulfate is a white or almost white crystalline powder. It is freely soluble in water and very slightly soluble in ethanol. Albuterol sulfate is the official generic name in the United States, and salbutamol sulfate is the World Health Organization recommended generic name. Albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol is a pressurized metered-dose aerosol unit with a dose indicator. Albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol is for oral inhalation only. It contains a microcrystalline suspension of albuterol sulfate in propellant HFA-134a (1, 1, 1, 2-tetrafluoroethane) and ethanol. Prime the inhaler before using for the first time and in cases where the inhaler has not been used for more than 2 weeks by releasing three sprays into the air, away from the face. After priming, each actuation delivers 108 mcg albuterol sulfate, from the actuator mouthpiece (equivalent to 90 mcg of albuterol base). Each canister provides 200 actuations (inhalations). This product does not contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as the propellant. Albuterol sulfate
