No, albuterol sulfate does not contain steroid in it.
Albuterol is a relatively selective beta2-adrenergic bronchodilator.

Actually, Yes it is.
Oh wait, sorry... NO it's not, but it is used by body builders to burn fat.
Why is it so difficult to get a definitive answer to such a simple question? Does Combivent Respimat contain steroids or not? Scads of credible internet sources say it does not, but my healthcare providers seem to live in a state of total confusion. I have a right to know what I am taking--especially since my doctor is using the alleged steroid content of Combivent to bully me in to getting a lot of expensive tests done that I don't think I need. Thanks in advance.
