Ventolin Diskus contains a medicine called salbutamol. It 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.

Before the treatment with Ventolin Diskus, tell the physician if:
• your asthma is active (for example, you have frequent symptoms or
flare ups
or limited physical ability). Your physician may start or increase a
medicine
to control your asthma such as an inhaled corticosteroid.
• you have high blood pressure.
• you have an overactive thyroid gland.
• you have a history of heart problems, such as an irregular or fast
heartbeat
or angina.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC
INDICATIONS
Ventolin Diskus is indicated in adults, adolescents and children.
Ventolin Diskus can be used for relief of bronchospasm in broncial
asthma of all types, chronic
bronchitis and emphysema.
Ventolin Diskus 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 Diskus 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.
