Salbutamol Sulphate 4mg Tablets
Composition:
Each tablet contains Salbutamol Sulphate 4mg as the active ingredient.
Indications:
Salbutamol Sulphate 4mg Tablets are used in the treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory conditions associated with bronchospasm (narrowing of the airways). This medication is prescribed to relieve symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and tightness in the chest by opening the airways and improving airflow. Salbutamol is also used as a prophylactic treatment for exercise-induced bronchospasm.
Mechanism of Action:
Salbutamol is a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (SABA). It works by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the smooth muscles of the airways. This leads to bronchodilation, or relaxation of the muscle surrounding the airways, which helps widen the air passages and improve airflow to the lungs. Salbutamol acts rapidly, providing relief from bronchospasm within minutes, and its effects typically last for 4 to 6 hours.
Dosage:
The typical dose of Salbutamol Sulphate 4mg Tablets is 1 to 2 tablets, three to four times daily, depending on the severity of the condition and the patient's response to the medication. The dose can be adjusted by a healthcare provider to achieve optimal symptom control. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not exceed the recommended dose to minimize the risk of side effects.
Packaging:
Salbutamol Sulphate 4mg Tablets are available in blister packs or bottles, typically containing 20 to 100 tablets per pack, depending on the packaging format.
