Asthalin SA-8 is prescribed for the treatment of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. The active substance in Asthalin SA-8 is Salbutamol. It targets the beta 2 receptors in the lungs, leading to the relaxation of the smooth muscles in the airways, specifically the bronchi. Consequently, this causes the airways to expand, enhancing the flow of air to the patient's lungs.
Asthalin SA-8 is typically taken once a day at a dose of one tablet, but the specific instructions for you may vary based on your age, weight, overall health, the condition being managed, and the intensity of your symptoms. These tablets should be swallowed whole without alteration and can be taken with or without food, although having a snack or meal beforehand is advisable if you are prone to nausea. Do not crush or split the tablets, as this could compromise or change the effects of the medication.
Asthalin SA-8 may not be appropriate for individuals with hyperthyroidism, diabetes, seizure disorders, hypertension, or cardiovascular issues. Additional caution is required when treating patients in this group.
If you find that the dosage prescribed by your physician is ineffective or if your symptoms worsen, it is crucial to consult your doctor immediately, as this might indicate a worsening of your asthma condition.
