Salbutamol

Salbutamol is a fast-acting bronchodilator. It is prescribed for asthma, wheezing, shortness of breath, COPD and exercise-induced bronchospasm. Below you will find how it is used, how it works, its possible side effects and the brands of Salbutamol you can order online from Sargodha.

What is Salbutamol used for?

Salbutamol is a fast-acting reliever that opens narrowed airways in asthma, COPD and other conditions that cause wheezing and shortness of breath. It also prevents exercise-induced symptoms.

How Salbutamol works

Salbutamol relaxes the muscles around the airways, so they widen within minutes and air flows more easily. The effect lasts about four to six hours.

Side effects of Salbutamol

Many people take Salbutamol without any trouble. When side effects do occur they are usually mild, and may include:

• Shaky hands (tremor)
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations
• Headache
• Muscle cramps
• Nervousness

Get urgent help if your breathing worsens after using it, if you need it more often than usual, or if you have chest pain or a very fast heartbeat.

Before you take Salbutamol

• Rinse the mouth after use if it is an inhaler and use a spacer if advised.
• If you need it more often, see your doctor, as your asthma may need a preventer.
• Tell your doctor about heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid problems or diabetes.
• Do not exceed the prescribed doses.
