In this episode, the question at hand is “What is this stuff?”  It’s albuterol, a beta-2 selective drug, used as a rescue inhaler.  And the question remains:  “What is this stuff?”  When it was invented, why it works and when is too much too much.  And why communicating with your physician about your Albuterol use is so important.  Everything is connected, and so we also spend a couple of minutes talking about Epi-Pen, another rescue medication.
