WHAT IS VENTOLIN
SUGAR FREE SYRUP
USED FOR?
Ventolin Sugar Free Syrup helps you
breathe more easily. Ventolin Sugar
Free Syrup works by opening up the
airways tubes in your lungs when
your chest is tight or when you are
wheezing.
Ventolin Sugar Free Syrup belongs
to a group of medicines called
bronchodilators. Because the
medicine in your syrup gives relief
from your chest symptoms, it is often
called a 'reliever'.
There are other types of medicines
that prevent wheezing or chest
tightness. These medicines are called
'preventers' and must be used every
day. Your doctor may tell you to use
a 'preventer' in addition to your
Ventolin Sugar Free Syrup. Ventolin
Sugar Free Syrup is not the only
form of Ventolin available. Your
doctor will decide which form of
Ventolin is right for you.
Your doctor may have prescribed
Ventolin Sugar Free Syrup for
another reason.
Ventolin Sugar Free Syrup is not
addictive.
