WHAT IS THIS MEDICINE
USED FOR
Salbutamol is inhaled into your lungs
to relieve the symptoms of asthma
and other breathing problems.
It may also be used before exercise
or at other times to keep your air
passages open if you start to wheeze
or have difficulty breathing each time
you exert yourself.
Asthma is a disease where the lining
of the lungs becomes inflamed (red
and swollen), making it difficult to
breathe. This may be due to an
allergy to house dust mites, smoke,
air-borne pollution and other
irritants.
Salbutamol belongs to a family of
medicines called bronchodilators
(beta-2-agonists). These work rapidly
to open up the air passages in the
lungs of people suffering from
asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and
other breathing problems.

associated with continuous
administration, intermittent administration of appropriate amounts of
salbutamol is preferred.
