This belongs to a group of medicines called fast-acting bronchodilators. Bronchodilators help the airways in your lungs to stay open. This makes it easier for air to get in and out. They help to relieve chest tightness, wheezing and cough. Ventolin Respirator Solution is used to treat breathing problems in people with asthma and other chest illnesses. It is usually given to people who suffer quite badly from these conditions when other forms of treatment do not help enough. Ventolin Respirator Solution is also used to treat severe attacks of asthma. VENTOLIN RESPIRATOR SOLUTION MUST ONLY BE USED BY INHALATION FROM A NEBULISER AND MUST NOT BE INJECTED OR SWALLOWED. 2 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE VENTOLIN RESPIRATOR SOLUTION DO NOT TAKE VENTOLIN RESPIRATOR SOLUTION IF: you are allergic to salbutamol sulfate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in Section 6). you unexpectedly Přečtěte si celý dokument
