Composition of Salbetol 4 mg

Uses of Salbetol 4 mg
- Relief
- Prevention of bronchospasm in bronchial asthma
- Chronic bronchitis
- Other reversible obstructive airway diseases
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath due to airway narrowing
Benefits of Salbetol 4 mg
- In Asthma
- Salbetol opens the airways or calms the inflammation inside them, depending on its type, so breathing is easier and attacks are fewer. Delivered straight into the lungs, it works where it is needed with very little reaching the rest of the body.
- In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Salbetol relaxes the airways so that air moves in and out more easily, reducing breathlessness and letting you walk further and do more before you have to stop.
How Salbetol 4 mg works
Salbutamol is a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (SABA). It relaxes bronchial smooth muscles, leading to bronchodilation and improved airflow, quickly relieving wheeze and breathlessness.

Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
