If so, then there are no other ways to deliver albuterol except by the inhaler route (or with a nebulizer. I am sorry if I did not understand your question!

If you use an MDI, be sure to use the proper technique and a "chamber" when in use. If you are unsure about proper use and techniques, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or ask a respiratory therapist at your local hospital.
