Salbetol 4 mg

Salbetol 4 mg contains Salbutamol (4mg). Prescription required.

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

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.

Oral tablet. Take as prescribed by the doctor; usually taken 2–3 times daily at fixed intervals. Can be taken with or without food; take with food if stomach upset occurs. Do not exceed the prescribed dose.

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

Use with caution in patients with heart disease (arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease), hypertension, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and seizure disorders. Overuse can cause serious heart rhythm problems and low potassium; seek medical help if breathing worsens or relief is short-lived. May cause tremor and dizziness—use caution while driving. In diabetics, monitor blood glucose. Not a substitute for anti-inflammatory controller therapy in persistent asthma.

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

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