Albuterol is available in vial form for use in a nebulizer and also in a inhaler.
I prefer the nebulizer as it is mixed with saline and slowly administered over 10 minutes but is difficult if you are in the go. The small handheld inhaler is good for traveling or rescue type applications

I prefer nebulizing the albuterol also for the added "moisture". Maybe that's a psychological effect but if so, that's ok too. However, I never used it or needed it as a rescue inhaler sort of thing. I assume that is for someone that has asthma? And, if I understand it correctly, albuterol used for nebulizing is not a steroid right?
