Salbutamol (as Salbutamol Sulphate) 2.5 mg/2.5 ml respule
Relief and prevention of bronchospasm in bronchial asthma, COPD (chronic bronchitis, emphysema), wheezing and reversible airway obstruction
Salbutamol is a short-acting selective beta-2 agonist (SABA). It relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, leading to bronchodilation and quick relief from wheeze, chest tightness and shortness of breath.
For inhalation use only via nebulizer. Use the respule contents as prescribed by the doctor; typically the entire 2.5 ml is placed in the nebulizer chamber and inhaled until the mist stops. Can be used with or without food; do not swallow or inject. Use immediately after opening and discard any leftover solution.
Common side effects of ASTHALIN RESP may include:
Use with caution in heart disease (arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease), hypertension, hyperthyroidism, diabetes and seizure disorders. Overuse can worsen asthma control; seek medical help if relief is inadequate or symptoms worsen. May cause low potassium (hypokalemia), especially with high doses or with diuretics/steroids; monitor if at risk. If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs, stop and seek urgent care.
