Salbutamol Asthalin Respirator Solution is a bronchodilator used for the relief and prevention of bronchospasm in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Salbutamol works by relaxing the muscles of the airways, allowing for easier breathing and improved airflow to the lungs. This solution is typically used with a nebulizer or inhalation device to deliver the medication directly to the respiratory tract.
Indications:
- Relief of bronchospasm in patients with asthma or COPD.
- Prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm.
Dosage and Administration:
- The usual adult dosage is 2.5mg to 5mg of Salbutamol inhaled via nebulization three to four times daily as needed.
- For children, the dosage may vary based on age and medical condition, typically ranging from 0.1 to 0.5mg/kg.
- Patients should follow their healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the dosage and frequency of administration.
Contraindications:
- Known hypersensitivity to Salbutamol or any component of the solution.
- Caution is advised in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias or severe heart disease.
Precautions:
- Patients with underlying cardiovascular disorders or hypertension should use Salbutamol with caution, as it may cause increased heart rate or blood pressure.
- Monitoring of lung function and symptom control is essential during treatment.
Side Effects:
Common side effects may include:
- Tremors
- Nervousness

Drug Interactions:
Salbutamol may interact with other medications, particularly non-selective beta-blockers, which can negate its bronchodilator effect. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking.
Storage:
