Description

Salbutamol Inhaler 100mcg delivers salbutamol sulfate, a selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist that relaxes the muscles in the airways, allowing for easier breathing. It is commonly used as a "reliever" inhaler to quickly alleviate bronchospasm in conditions like asthma and COPD. The inhaler provides rapid onset of action, typically within 5 minutes, and its effects last for about 4 to 6 hours.

Salbutamol Inhaler is suitable for adults and children aged 4 years and over. It can also be used prophylactically to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm or before exposure to known allergens.
