Asthalin Respules (Salbutamol)

This medicine is prescribed for:

• Asthma attacks and asthma symptoms
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Bronchospasm and wheezing
• Shortness of breath due to lung diseases
• Chronic bronchitis
• Emphysema
• Breathing difficulty in children and elderly patients

This medicine works by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the lungs. This relaxes the muscles around the airways and widens the breathing passages, making it easier to breathe.

The effect usually begins within 5 to 15 minutes after nebulization and may last for 4 to 6 hours.

• Use this medicine only with a nebulizer machine.
• Open one respule and pour the solution into the nebulizer cup.
• Do not swallow or inject the liquid.
• Breathe in the mist slowly and deeply through the mask or mouthpiece until the nebulizer cup is empty.
• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Wash the nebulizer parts after every use to maintain hygiene.

Usual Dose:

• Adults and children above 12 years: 2.5 mg to 5 mg through nebulizer, up to 3 or 4 times daily
• Children below 12 years: Dose depends on age and body weight
• Always follow the doctor’s prescription and do not exceed the recommended frequency

Missed Dose:
If you miss a scheduled dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not use two respules at the same time.
