Asthalin Resp/Soln

Salbutamol (as Salbutamol Sulphate) 2 mg/5 ml respiratory solution

Relief and prevention of bronchospasm in bronchial asthma, COPD (chronic bronchitis, emphysema) and other reversible obstructive airway diseases; wheezing and shortness of breath due to airway narrowing

Salbutamol is a selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist. It relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, leading to bronchodilation and improved airflow, quickly relieving wheeze and breathlessness.

Respiratory solution for inhalation via nebulizer only (not for injection; avoid oral use unless specifically advised). Use the dose and frequency prescribed by the doctor; often diluted with sterile normal saline to the required volume and nebulized using a compressor/nebulizer. Use as needed for acute symptoms or regularly as prescribed; rinse mouth/face after nebulization.

Tremor, headache, palpitations, fast heartbeat (tachycardia), nervousness, throat irritation, cough, muscle cramps, nausea, dizziness, low potassium (hypokalemia)

Use with caution in heart disease (arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease), hypertension, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and seizure disorders. Excess use can worsen asthma control and increase risk of serious side effects—seek medical care if relief is inadequate or symptoms worsen. May cause hypokalemia (risk increased with diuretics/xanthines/steroids) and rarely paradoxical bronchospasm (stop and seek help). Monitor blood glucose in diabetics; avoid self-escalation of dose.

Beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol) may reduce effect/trigger bronchospasm; diuretics, corticosteroids and xanthines (theophylline) increase risk of hypokalemia; MAO inhibitors/TCAs may increase cardiovascular effects; other sympathomimetics may increase side effects; digoxin levels may decrease

Store below 25°C; protect from light; do not freeze. Keep bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children.
