1 PRODUCT INFORMATION VENTOLIN OBSTETRIC INJECTION FOR INTRAVENOUS INFUSION ONLY FOR OBSTETRIC USE ONLY - DILUTE BEFORE USE NAME OF MEDICINE: Salbutamol Sulfate BP CHEMICAL NAME 1-(4-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylphenyl)-2-(t-butylamino) ethanol Sulfate DESCRIPTION: Salbutamol sulphate is a white or almost white odourless powder. It is soluble in 4 parts of water; slightly soluble in 95% alcohol, chloroform and solvent ether. Ventolin Obstetric Injection contains the following excipients: sodium chloride, sulfuric acid and water for injections. PHARMACOLOGY: Salbutamol is a beta-adrenergic stimulant which is more specific for beta-2-adrenoreceptors than isoprenaline. When given by the parenteral route relative specificity decreases with increased dosage. Stimulation of beta-2-adrenoreceptors causes relaxation of the smooth muscle of the bronchi, uterus and skeletal muscle blood vessels. Salbutamol, when given by the intravenous route, produces uterine relaxation in most instances, but the onset is variable and depends on dosage. Salbutamol has a variety of metabolic effects mediated by beta-2-receptor stimulation. Intravenous administration of salbutamol causes a marked rise in non-esterified fatty acid levels and also an increase in insulin levels. There is a significant rise in lactate levels and a slight rise in plasma glucose values. The release of insulin is thought to be due to beta-2- receptor stimulation and not due to rises in plasma glucose levels, which are only slight and occur after the insulin rise.
