WHAT VENTOLIN IS USED FOR
VENTOLIN is used for the
relief and prevention of asthma
symptoms. It should be used to
relieve symptoms when they
occur, and to prevent them in
those circumstances recognised
by the patient to precipitate an
asthma attack (e.g. before
exercise or unavoidable allergen
exposure).
HOW VENTOLIN WORKS
VENTOLIN contains a medicine
called salbutamol. This belongs
to a group of medicines called
bronchodilators. Bronchodilators
relax the muscles in the walls of
the small airway passages in the
lungs. VENTOLIN
•
helps to open up the airways
in your lungs, making it easier
for you to breathe.
•
helps to relieve chest
tightness, wheezing and cough
associated with asthma.
VENTOLIN Inhaler CFC-Free
known as VENTOLIN Evohaler
contains a propellant called HFA
134a. This is less harmful to the
environment than older inhalers.
Older inhalers may taste
differently to VENTOLIN
Evohaler. This will make no
difference to how your medicine
works.
BEFORE YOU USE VENTOLIN
-
_When you must not use it _
Do not use VENTOLIN:
•
if you are allergic
(hypersensitive) to salbutamol
sulphate or any of the other
ingredients of VENTOLIN
If you think any of these apply
to you,
do not use
VENTOLIN
until you have checked with
your doctor
.
_Pregnancy and brestfeeding _
VENTOLIN is not usually
recommended for use during
pregnancy. If you are pregnant,
or think you could be, or if you
are planning to become
pregnant, do not take
VENTOLIN without checking
with your doctor. Your doctor
will consider the benefit to you
and the risk to your baby of
taking VENTOLIN while you
are pregnant.

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
Indications
VENTOLIN Evohaler provides short-acting (4 to 6 hour) bronchodilation with fast onset
(within 5 minutes) in reversible airway obstruction.
It is particularly suitable for the relief and prevention of asthma symptoms. VENTOLIN
Evohaler should be used to relieve symptoms when they occur, and to prevent them in
those circumstances recognised by the patient to precipitate an asthma attack (e.g. before
exercise or unavoidable allergen exposure).
VENTOLIN Evohaler is particularly valuable as relief medication in mild, moderate or
severe asthma, provided that reliance on it does not delay the introduction and use of
regular inhaled corticosteroid therapy.
Dosage and Administration
VENTOLIN has a duration of action of 4 to 6 hours in most patients.
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.
As there may be adverse effects associated with excessive dosing, the dosage or
frequency of administration should only be increased on medical advice.
VENTOLIN is administered by the oral inhaled route only.
