WHAT VENTOLIN ACCUHALER IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Ventolin Accuhaler contains a medicine called salbutamol. This belongs
to a group of
medicines called fast-acting 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 Accuhaler is used to treat breathing problems in people with
asthma and similar
conditions. This includes relieving and preventing asthma brought on
by exercise or other
“triggers”. These are things, which bring on asthma symptoms in
some people. Common
triggers include house dust, pollen, cats, dogs and cigarette smoke.

4.1 Therapeutic indications
Ventolin Accuhaler is indicated in adults, adolescents and children
aged 4 to 11 years.
Ventolin Accuhaler can be used in the management of asthma,
bronchospasm and/or reversible airways
obstruction.
Ventolin Accuhaler is particularly suitable for the relief 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).
Ventolin Accuhaler 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.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Ventolin Accuhaler is for inhalation use only. Ventolin Accuhaler is
suitable for many patients including
those who cannot use a metered-dose inhaler successfully.
Adults (including the elderly)
For the relief of acute bronchospasm, 200 micrograms as a single dose.
The maximum daily dose is 200
micrograms four times a day.
To prevent allergen- or exercise-induced symptoms, 200 micrograms
should be taken 10-15 minutes
before challenge.
