Description

It is commonly prescribed for:

Asthma attacks
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Exercise-induced bronchospasm
Wheezing and shortness of breath

The inhaler delivers medication directly to the lungs, ensuring quick onset of action and effective symptom control.

Exhale fully and place the mouthpiece in your mouth.
Press the inhaler while inhaling deeply.
Hold your breath for 5–10 seconds.
Repeat if prescribed (usually 1–2 puffs).

Mechanism of Action

Salbutamol works by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the lungs, causing relaxation of airway muscles.

This leads to bronchodilation (widening of airways), making breathing easier almost immediately.
