Hi,

I understand you have a question about your Albuterol. Usually the nebulized form of Albuterol will in a liquid form, but sometimes it can come in other forms. Regardless, you should normally take 3 to 4 times a day as needed for shortness of breath from COPD.

Albuterol is not used for hypertension. I hope that helps. If it is still not clear, check the packaging; instructions should be on it. If you still are not sure, you should probably call your doctor's office. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Aaron Branch, General & Family Physician
