💎This Anki deck is designed to teach medical terminology through the etymological roots of words. Each card links the historical or linguistic origin of a term to its current usage in clinical medicine, enhancing both comprehension and retention.💎
⚠️General Tagging Principles:⚠️ ✅All terms in this deck have at least one medical meaning and are therefore tagged with #medicine. ✅More specific medical field tags (e.g., CARDIO, NEURO, PHARMA) are used to narrow down the topic and assist with filtering. ✅If a term also has non-medical meanings, it is additionally tagged with one or more other fields tags (e.g., AI, finance/entrepreneurship, politics). ✅Abbreviations/Terms with multiple meanings are separated into distinct entries using numbered sections: 1 First meaning 2 Second meaning 3 Third meaning
🔱Special Notations🔱 ⚜️If you see “Search X” in the back of a card, it indicates that term X is related and also included in this deck. ➤ If X is missing, please notify me.
⚜️Cards tagged with ETYMO include thorough etymological breakdowns of terms. ➤ Prefixes, suffixes, and roots are individually explained within each card.
⚜️Some cards contain Persian text in addition to the main English content. ➤ This mostly applies to Iranian brand names of some drugs.

| Front | albuterol |
| Back | Salbutamol, also known as albuterol and sold under the brand name Ventolin among others, is a medication that opens up the medium and large airways in the lungs. It is a short-acting β2 adrenergic receptor agonist that causes relaxation of airway smooth muscle. It is used to treat asthma, including asthma attacks and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may also be used to treat high blood potassium levels. Salbutamol is usually used with an inhaler or nebulizer, but it is also available in a pill, liquid, and intravenous solution. Onset of action of the inhaled version is typically within 15 minutes and lasts for two to six hours. Common side effects include shakiness, headache, fast heart rate, dizziness, and feeling anxious. Serious side effects may include worsening bronchospasm, irregular heartbeat, and low blood potassium levels. It can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but safety is not entirely clear. Salbutamol was patented in 1966 in Britain and became commercially available in the UK in 1969. It was approved for medical use in the United States in 1982. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Salbutamol is available as a generic medication. In 2022, it was the seventh most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 59 million prescriptions.wikipedia.comsearch SABA, LABA |
