What Ventolin Inhaler is and what it is used for
Ventolin Inhaler is an asthma spray that has a bronchodilator effect for asthma attacks and critical moments of shortness of breath. Asthma sufferers adults, as well as including children, can use the inhaler on their own to get quick help. Everyone with asthma knows how important every minute counts and how essential it is to have access to the right medication in an emergency.
Salbutamol is the active ingredient in the drug Ventolin, which has become the optimal drug among the most common medications for patients with chronic asthma and obstructive bronchitis. When the drug is inhaled, the spasm that occurs during an asthma attack in the respiratory tract and bronchial area is quickly alleviated.
Causes of asthma attacks
During an asthma attack, the airways swell and narrow, disrupting oxygen saturation, which can cause the victim to be unable to breathe and suffocate. There are several common circumstances that can cause an asthma attack, such as allergic reactions to dust, pollen, and certain allergens.
The severity of the attack depends on how severe the asthma is and on the physiology of the patient.
Within seconds of applying the medication, the active ingredient salbutamol reduces swelling and at the same time opens the airways, making breathing easier.
How Ventolin works
When a person is exposed to an irritant or trigger, for example pollen or animal hair, there is a sharp exacerbation of asthma symptoms in which the bronchioles, the tubes through which air passes, become severely narrowed, decreasing in diameter and no longer regulate the air flow. Ventolin acts as a beta-androgen receptor antagonist, which means it stimulates beta receptors in the body that activate muscles in the lungs to allow more air to be transported.
Salbutamol also reduces the inflammation of respiratory cells caused by an asthma attack.
The medicine should not be used for preventive purposes, but only when needed to relieve asthma and choking attacks.
Ventolin Inhaler begins to work within the first minutes, providing fast and effective relief during an asthma attack. The effect of the medication can last from 3 to 7 hours.
The combination of effective therapeutic properties and active ingredients makes Ventolin preferable to other similar drugs for the treatment of an acute asthma attack.
If an asthma attack begins suddenly and the patient has no prior preparation in the form of medication, it can be an unpleasant event.
The Ventolin inhaler can be used to mngently reduce symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest pressure. This asthma medicine is also suitable for preventive treatment with other medicines that reduce inflammation in the lungs as well as mucus production, which can make an asthma attack more severe.
What you should know before using Ventolin Inhaler
Most chronic asthmatics can safely use Ventolin during an asthma attack to avoid an attack or to help open the airway.
However, you should refrain from using the inhaler and use an alternative treatment if you have:
- Allergic to any component of Ventolin, such as salbutamol
- Cardiovascular disease
- Vascular spasm
- Hyperthyroidism (increased thyroid function)
- Decreased blood potassium levels
- Diabetes
These are important factors that can be critical in ensuring that you can use the treatment.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop using the medication and seek medical attention immediately:
- Swelling of the face, throat, or tongue
- Difficulty breathing and redness of the skin
- Difficulty swallowing
- Ventolin with other medicines
You should tell the pharmacist if you are currently taking, about to take, or have recently taken any other medicines.
The effect of treatment with Ventolin may be less if you combine use with some other medicines. Among other things, beta-adrenoblockers (blood pressure-lowering drugs) can completely reverse the effects of the drug. You should therefore consult your doctor before using other medicines during treatment with Salbutamol.
How do I use Ventolin Inhaler?
In order to use the medication effectively and safely to relieve symptoms of an asthma attack, you need to get a sufficient dose of the active ingredient.
The inhaler is available in a dosage containing 100 mcg (micrograms) of the active ingredient. This is the most common dose of this type of medication is 100 mcg, which is suitable for use by most asthma patients.
Your doctor will make recommendations to help you recognize an upcoming asthma attack and the amount of medicine you should inhale. This way, you will know when it is time to use the medicine.
You should use Ventolin Inhaler based on the severity of your asthma and the asthma attack symptoms you are experiencing.
It is usually recommended to take one or two doses of Ventolin Salbutamol Spray during or before an attack to reduce symptoms and restore your ability to breathe normally.
Adults and children over 14 years of age
For adults and children over 14 years of age, the usual starting dose is 1 to 2 inhalations as needed, which should provide relief from an acute asthma attack.
Children 4 to 14 years of age
For children younger than 14 years of age, the usual dose to relieve acute tracheal spasm is 1 inhalation. If necessary, one dose may be increased to 2 inhalations . Total use, if necessary, should not exceed 2 inhalations 4 times a day.
If you are also using prophylactic treatment, the usual recommendations may differ, so we recommend that you consult your doctor for more information about your specific asthma medication.
The usual dose for treating chronic asthma is 2-3 inhalations four times a day.
If the inhaler is damaged or has stopped working, a new inhaler should be used. If it appears that the dose or inhaler is not suitable for the patient, other combinations should be tried until the most suitable medicine for the patient is found.
Possible side effects
Ventolin very rarely causes side effects, but as with other medications, there is always a small chance of them occurring. More common reactions include throat irritation, muscle pain, or coughing.
If you have a serious reaction, you should stop treatment and seek medical attention.
The most common side effects are:
- Tremors
- Heart palpitations or arrhythmias
- Swelling
- Headache
