Disadvantages: requires IV access (can be problematic in young children), more systemic side effects, expensive
5 mg (age under 2 years) or 5 mg (age over 5 years) given to children with acute severe asthma was followed by an intravenous infusion of salbutamol or continued nebulised salbutamol in a randomised manner

The median Salbutamol [unlicensed indication], by nebulisation or slow intravenous injection may also reduce plasma-potassium concentration; it should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease
With intracavernosal use for Priapism in adults: The use of adrenaline is an unlicensed indication
a neat solution of 50mg in 50mL, where 1mL/hour is equivalent to 16 Salbutamol has become a key drug in respiratory medicine since it was first developed by Sir David Jack et al in 1968, 5000 years after the β agonist ephedrine was first used in its raw form, as the Ma Huang herb in Chinese medicine to treat asthma
β-2 agonists and aminophylline have differing mechanisms of action that also affect their Salbutamol 5mg or terbutaline 10mg via an oxygen-driven nebuliser
Repeat chest radiograph only if pneumothorax or consolidation are suspected or patient requires mechanical Beta-2 agonists — act directly on beta-2 receptors, causing smooth muscle relaxation and dilatation of the airways
Intravenous adrenaline/epinephrine should only be given by experienced specialists and in a setting where patients can be carefully monitored

The renal clearance of salbutamol has been documented as 272 +/- 38 ml/min after oral administration and 291 +/- 70 ml/min after intravenous administration
Treatment's effects begin in about 10-15 minutes and peak effect is usually within 30 minutes
