Ventolin (Albuterol/Salbutamol)

Ventolin is used to treat people with asthma and other chest illnesses. It is particularly prescribed to relieve asthma symptoms, and to prevent asthma symptoms brought on by exercise or other triggers.

To treat asthma symptoms such as wheezing, breathlessness and tightness in your chest, a usual dose is: Usually the most you would take in a 24-hour period is 8 puffs.

For regular treatment:

Ventolin contains the active ingredient Salbutamol, which is a type of medicine known as a short-acting beta 2 agonist. It works by acting on receptors in the lungs called beta 2 receptors. Stimulation of these receptors causes the muscles in the airways to relax, allowing the airways to open.

If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, use only that dose. Do not use double or extra doses.

Store at the room temperature away from moisture and sunlight. Keep out of the reach of children.

Side effects

Most people do not have any problems when taking this medicine. If you feel unwell or notice anything unusual or which you do not understand, tell your doctor as soon as possible.

Ventolin should not be taken with beta-blockers, such as atenolol, propranolol or timolol. This is because beta-blockers have an opposite action to this medicine and cause the airways to narrow. This can result in breathing difficulties for people with asthma or COPD. This problem has sometimes been seen with eye drops containing beta-blockers, eg. used for glaucoma.
