T H E R A P E U T I C I N D E X 81 AZMASOL ® Inhaler DESCRIPTION Salbutamol BP, the active ingredient of Azmasol Inhaler, is a β 2 adrenoceptor agonist used in the treatment of asthma and other forms of diffuse reversible airways obstruction. INDICATIONS Azmasol (Salbutamol) inhaler is indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of bronchial asthma and for the treatment of reversible airways obstruction associated with bronchitis and emphysema. Azmasol inhaler may be used to relieve attacks of acute dyspnoea and may also be taken prophylactically before exertion or to prevent exercise induced asthma. It is suitable for treating bronchospasm in patients with coexisting heart disease or hypertension, including those taking β blockers, because of its selective action on the bronchial receptors and lack of effects on the cardiovascular system. Salbutamol is a sympathomimetic agent which has a highly selective action on β adrenergic receptors in bronchial muscle. At therapeutic levels, it has little effect on cardiac receptors. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION _Adults_ ♦ For the relief of acute bronchospasm and for managing intermittent episodes of asthma : one or two inhalation as a single dose ♦ For chronic maintenance or prophylactic therapy : two inhalations three or four times daily ♦ For prevention of exercise induced bronchospasm : two inhalations before exertion. _Children_ For relief of acute bronchospasm, management of episodic asthma and for prevention of exercise induced bronchospasm : one inhalation; for routine maintenance and prophylaxis : one inhalation three or four times daily, increasing if necessary to two inhalations three or four times daily.
