Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: a) Healthy volunteers 1. Healthy Males/females, between 18-45 years ages group 2. On no permanent treatment 3. Suffering from no permanent / recurrent / chronic disease or disability b) Diseased subjects 1. Worked up adult patients with pulmonary hypertension with associated mild or moderate asthma or COPD or ILD with hypoxemia or other disease conditions as mentioned. Wherever facilities are not available, for example at high altitude, clinical diagnosis shall be deemed sufficient as per accepted norms.

Patients who have received any other investigational drug for the last 1 month 5. Too low or too high body weight (< 40 kg, > 100 kg) 6. Pregnant and lactating women b) Diseased subjects 1. Patients with prior hypersensitivity to salbutamol 2. Patients who are unwilling to give informed consent 3. Patients receiving inhalation of long acting beta-agonists within 1 week of the start of the study with persisting medical effect 4. Patients with history of severe asthma / dyspnoea / poor inspirational capacity 5. Patients on continuous oxygen 6. Volunteers with serious or critical illness. 7. Patients who are pregnant, lactating or women of child bearing potential not using medically accepted methods of contraception. 8. Patients with clinically significant renal, respiratory (other than those mentioned), cardiac (including rheumatic or congenital heart disease), gastrointestinal, hepatic, endocrine or hematological disorders. 9. Patients who have had an upper respiratory tract or acute sinus infection within four weeks prior to enrollment. 10.
