HCPs should be encouraged to seek improvements in the performance of pharmaceutical services and innovative practices to respond to the pandemic. Further studies are needed to generate knowledge on COVID-19 to improve patient care in vulnerable populations.Essential inhaler medications for patients with respiratory diseases are backordered due to the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19). In hospitals, there has been a drastic increase in the use of salbutamol pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs), as well as salbutamol Diskus, leading to a decline in availability and causing interruptions in the supply chain. Patients with asthma are at higher risk of respiratory complications if they are infected with COVID-19. Salbutamol, a short-acting β-agonist (SABA), could be a life-saving medication during critical conditions. Other short-acting muscarinic antagonists (SAMAs), such as ipratropium pMDI, and combinations of SABA/SAMA, such as Combivent Respimat, are also starting to have supply issues. With the ongoing pandemic, hospitals need to consider conservation strategies to facilitate resource-efficient salbutamol delivery and reduce their waste. In this current opinion, we demonstrate several strategies for avoiding pMDI wastage that can be adopted in both the hospital and community settings. These strategies include reprocessing used or expired pMDIs, using intravenous salbutamol and other short acting inhalers when available, and prescribing maintenance inhalers to prevent over usage of salbutamol pMDIs. We also highlight the important role of physicians and pharmacists in optimizing medication therapies to ensure adequate supplies.The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a major global threat affecting millions of live
