SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1. NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Salbutamol 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Salbutamol is a pressurised metered-dose inhaler delivering 100 micrograms of salbutamol (as Salbutamol Sulfate) per actuation. Salbutamol contains a new propellant (HFA 134a) and does not contain any chlorofluorocarbons. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Dosed aerosol for inhalation 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Salbutamol is indicated in adults, adolescents and children aged 4 to 11 years. For babies and children under 4 years of age, see sections 4.2 and 5.1. Salbutamol provides short-acting (4 to 6 hour) bronchodilation with fast onset (within 5 minutes) in reversible airways obstruction. It is particularly suitable 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). Salbumatol 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 Salbutamol is for oral inhalation use only. Salbutamol may be used with a Volumatic™ spacer device by patients who find it difficult to synchronise aerosol actuation with inspiration of breath. Adults (including the elderly): For the relief of acute asthma symptoms including bronchospasm, one inhalation (100 micrograms) may be administered as a single minimum starting dose. This may be increased to two inhalations if necessary. To prevent allergen- or exercise-induced symptoms, two inhalations should be taken 10-15 minutes before challenge. For chronic therapy, two inhalations up to four times a day.
