Salbair-B Forte 30S

Salbutamol 4 mg + Bromhexine 8 mg tablets (commonly marketed as Salbair-B Forte)

Relief of productive cough and chest congestion associated with bronchitis, asthma/COPD with mucus, and other respiratory tract conditions with bronchospasm and thick sputum

Salbutamol is a short-acting beta-2 agonist that relaxes bronchial smooth muscles to open airways and reduce wheeze/breathlessness. Bromhexine is a mucolytic/expectorant that thins and loosens mucus, making it easier to cough out and improving airway clearance.

Tablet for oral use. Take as prescribed by the doctor, usually 2–3 times daily; can be taken with or without food (take with food if stomach upset occurs). Swallow with water; do not exceed the recommended dose.

Tremor, headache, palpitations, fast heart rate, nervousness, nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, dizziness, sweating, muscle cramps, dry mouth

Use with caution in heart disease (arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease), hypertension, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and seizure disorders. May cause tachycardia and tremors; avoid overdose. Seek medical help if breathing worsens, severe palpitations/chest pain occur, or allergic reactions (rash, swelling) appear. Not intended to treat acute severe asthma attack as a rescue inhaler unless advised; follow doctor’s plan. Use caution in pregnancy and breastfeeding; use only if prescribed.

Beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol) may reduce effect/precipitate bronchospasm, other sympathomimetics increase side effects, MAO inhibitors/tricyclic antidepressants may increase cardiovascular effects, diuretics/corticosteroids/xanthines (theophylline) may increase risk of hypokalemia, digoxin levels may decrease with salbutamol

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from moisture and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
