I've seen alot of websites that state this...yet none explain why. Maybe I'm just missing the point....

Albuterol, B2 agonist, causes at the lung a relaxation of bronchi smooth muscles.
However, it would not be a correct administration way for allergies can express throughout all the body. In severe cases with bronchi spasm, adrenalin is used IV.

Let me break down in terms easy to understand!!!!!!
In the immune system, the part of our body that is supposed to help us fight infections, directs itself against harmless proteins, such as those in peanuts, and when this happens we may develop a peanut allergy or other food allergy. The reason why your allergic to peanuts and soy products has alot to do overall with your having respiratory problems so instead of you taking this inhaler and getting better it would make you worse.

Hmmm....I didn't know that! They told me I had an allergy to those things, but I've always been given Albuterol. Maybe my allergy isn't bad enough to have an allergic reaction to it.
