Further information
WHAT VENTOLIN RESPIRATORY
SOLUTION IS AND WHAT IT IS USED
FOR
Ventolin Respirator Solution
contains a medicine called
salbutamol. This belongs to a
group of medicines called
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.
HOW VENTOLIN RESPIRATORY
SOLUTION WORKS
Salbutamol is a selective beta
2
adrenoceptor agonist. At
therapeutic doses it acts on the
beta
2
adrenoceptors of bronchial
muscle, with little or no action
on the heart.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
Indications
VENTOLIN Respirator Solution is indicated for the treatment of acute severe asthma
(status asthmaticus) and for routine management of chronic bronchospasm –unresponsive
to conventional therapy.
Dosage and Administration
VENTOLIN has a duration of action of 4 to 6 hours in most patients.
VENTOLIN Respirator Solution is to be used with a respirator or nebuliser, only under
the direction of a physician.
The solution must not be injected, or swallowed.
Increasing use of beta
2 agonists may be a sign of worsening asthma. Under these
conditions a reassessment of the patient's therapy plan may be required and concomitant
glucocorticosteroid therapy should be considered.
Delivery of the aerosol may be by facemask, 'T' piece or via an endotracheal tube.
Intermittent positive pressure ventilation may be used but is rarely necessary. When there
is a risk of anoxia through hypoventilation, oxygen should be added to the inspired air.
As there may be adverse effects associated with excessive dosing, the dosage or
frequency of administration should only be increased on medical advice.
As many nebulisers operate on a continuous flow basis, it is likely that nebulised drug
will be released in the local environment. VENTOLIN Respirator Solution should
therefore be administered in a well-ventilated room, particularly in hospitals when several
patients may be using nebulisers at the same time.
