Salbutamol inhaler

The salbutamol in a Ventolin inhaler helps you breathe easier by widening the airways in your lungs. It eliminates asthma attack symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness.Ventolin inhalers only offer temporary comfort.

One inhalation, three to four times a day, is the typical dose for the long-term treatment of asthma. The daily dosage cap is four puffs. The recommended dose is 1 inhalation 15 minutes prior to activity for preventing exercise-induced asthma.

Steroids are not present in Ventolin. As a sympathomimetic bronchodilator, Ventolin, which includes the active chemical albuterol, relaxes the smooth muscle in the airways, improving airflow into and out of the lungs and making breathing easier.

The most frequently reported negative side effects include: taste alteration (poor, unpleasant and odd taste), mouth and throat irritation, fine tremor (typically of the hands), nausea, perspiration, restlessness, headache, and dizziness.

Ventolin contains drugs that are supposed to continue to act for 4-6 hours after usage. It is therefore safe to use these inhalers 4-6 times each day, to address the issue posed above.

• Make sure there is nothing in the mouthpiece by removing the cap and checking inside.
• Before each use, give the inhaler a good 10 to 15 shakes.
• Placing the mouthpiece downward, hold the inhaler. To create a tight seal, place your lips all the way around the mouthpiece.
• You should press down on the inhaler once as you begin to inhale slowly and deeply.
• Remove the inhaler from your mouth. Hold your breath as you slowly count to ten, if you can. This allows the medication to enter your lungs effectively.
• Exhale gradually.
• Wait 1 to 2 minutes before taking your next puff.

Anyone under the age of four is not permitted to use ventolin.
