Ventolin inhaler is used to help treat the symptoms of:

• asthma
• bronchitis
• emphysema
• other breathing problems.

In people who have difficulty breathing during exercise, Asmol inhaler may also be used before exercise to keep the air passages open.

Ventolin inhaler contains a medicine called salbutamol. Each dose (puff) contains 100 micrograms of salbutamol. There are 200 doses in each Asmol inhaler.

Salbutamol belongs to a group of medicines called bronchodilators or beta-2 agonists. When your chest is tight or when you are wheezing, Ventolin is inhaled into the lungs and works rapidly to open up the air passages in your lungs, helping you breathe more easily. Ventolin inhaler gives fast relief from your chest symptoms and is often called a "reliever" medicine. You may also know it as a "reliever puffer".

Some people start wheezing or their chest starts to feel tight when they exercise. This is called exercise-induced asthma. If you have exercise-induced asthma, your doctor may tell you to take one or two puffs of your Ventolin inhaler before you exercise. This can help prevent the symptoms of exercise-induced asthma.

Ventolin inhaler helps to control your condition but does not cure it.

Directions

The usual Ventolin inhaler dose is one or two puffs every four hours if needed. Your doctor may advise you to take a different dose. This depends on your condition and whether or not you are taking any other medicine.

Elderly patients may need smaller doses. If you have an Asthma Action Plan that you have agreed with your doctor, follow it closely at all times.

Ingredients

Salbutamol 100mcg/dose

Warnings

If you take too many puffs of your Ventolin inhaler, you may have a fast heart beat, feel shaky or have a headache. These symptoms are usually mild side effects of using Ventolin inhaler. However, if they are severe or do not go away, it may be that you have used too much Ventolin.

Do not use Ventolin inhaler if you are allergic to medicines containing salbutamol
