Salbutamol (Inhaler)

Salbutamol inhaler is indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of bronchial asthma and for the treatment of reversible airways obstruction associated with bronchitis and emphysema.

Salbutamol inhaler may be used to relieve attacks of acute dyspnoea and may also be taken prophylactically before exertion or to prevent exercise-induced asthma.

Salbutamol inhaler is suitable for treating bronchospasm in patients with coexisting heart disease or hypertension, including those taking beta blockers, because of its selective action on the bronchial receptors and lack of effects on the cardiovascular system. At therapeutic levels, it has little effect on cardiac receptors.
