Asthalin 4

Uses
Asthalin-4 (Salbutamol) are indicated for the therapeutic treatment of asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. The active ingredient in this medicine is in a class of medicines known as selective beta-2-adrenergic agonists. It acts on the beta 2 receptors in the lungs, triggering a relaxation of the smooth muscles in the airways, or to be more specific, the bronchi. As a result of this, the airways widen and the flow of air available to the patient's lungs increases.

Patients who are affected by asthma, COPD and other breathing difficulties may experience spasms of the smooth muscle in the airways (bronchospasm) and narrow airways (bronchoconstriction), which causes difficulties in airflow to the lungs. By causing the airways to open, this medicine can ease breathing problems. These tablets may be used in the treatment of other conditions which are not listed here.

Asthalin-4 (Salbutamol) tablets are administered orally, and as a result of this will not work instantly. Therefore, it is not used for sudden asthma attacks or breathing difficulties.
