Introduction of Asthalin Tablets (Salbutamol ventolin)
ASTHALIN TABLET is a combination respiratory medicine containing salbutamol (a bronchodilator) and theophylline (xanthine and phosphodiesterase inhibitor). Together, they help manage chronic conditions of the respiratory system, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a respiratory problem in which the airways narrow, swell, and produce excess mucus, resulting in difficulty breathing. On the other hand, COPD is a group of progressive lung diseases, along with emphysema (difficulty breathing) and chronic bronchitis (bronchitis). It can be mild at first, but it can lead to complete airway obstruction and lung damage in severe cases. ASTHALIN TABLET (Salbutamol ventolin) helps control asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by relaxing and widening the narrow or blocked airways (bronchi) in the lungs, making it easier to breathe in. ASTHALIN TABLET is used to treat initiating asthma attacks (acute attacks) and wheezing (whistling when breathing) caused by factors such as colds or exercise. It is best to take ASTHALIN TABLET without food, mainly on an empty stomach. It ought to be gulped down with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite or break it.
