Manufacturer: Cipla, India
Pharmaceutical name: Salbutamol
Pack: 30 pills (2 mg)
Asthalin is used for the treatment of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. Its active component is Salbutamol, which targets the beta 2 receptors in the lungs, leading to the relaxation of the smooth muscles in the airways, particularly the bronchi. This relaxation causes the airways to expand, enhancing the airflow to the lungs.
The typical administration of Asthalin is one tablet once a day, but the specific dosage will vary based on factors such as your age, weight, overall health, the condition being treated, and the severity of your symptoms. The tablets should be taken whole without altering them, and you can take them with or without food. However, it is advisable to eat a snack or meal beforehand if you are prone to nausea. Do not crush or split the tablets, as this may compromise the effectiveness of the medication.
Asthalin may not be appropriate for individuals with hyperthyroidism, diabetes, seizure disorders, hypertension, or cardiovascular issues. Doctors should proceed with caution when treating patients with these conditions.
If you find that the dosage prescribed by your doctor is ineffective or if your symptoms worsen, you should promptly consult your doctor, as this may indicate a deterioration in your asthma condition.
