Relief and prevention of bronchospasm in bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including chronic bronchitis and emphysema

Salbutamol is a short-acting selective beta-2 agonist bronchodilator. It relaxes smooth muscle in the airways, leading to widening of bronchi and rapid relief from wheeze, breathlessness and chest tightness.

For inhalation use only via a compatible capsule-based dry powder inhaler/rotahaler as prescribed. Do not swallow the capsule; place capsule in device, pierce and inhale the powder deeply. Use at the same times if on regular dosing; rinse mouth after use if advised.

Tremor, headache, palpitations, fast heart rate (tachycardia), nervousness, throat irritation, cough, muscle cramps, dizziness, nausea

Not for swallowing; inhalation use only. Use with caution in heart disease (arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease), hypertension, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, seizure disorders, and in patients sensitive to sympathomimetics. Overuse may worsen asthma control; seek medical help if needing more frequent doses or if symptoms worsen. May cause hypokalaemia; caution with severe asthma and concomitant diuretics/xanthines/steroids. Paradoxical bronchospasm can occur—stop and seek care if breathing worsens after use.

Non-selective beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol) may reduce effect and trigger bronchospasm, diuretics/corticosteroids/xanthines (increased risk of hypokalaemia), MAO inhibitors/tricyclic antidepressants (enhanced cardiovascular effects), digoxin (may reduce digoxin levels), other sympathomimetics (additive side effects)
