Asmalyn Syrup (Salbutamol) x100ml

Asmalyn Syrup, containing Salbutamol, is a fast-acting bronchodilator designed to alleviate symptoms of respiratory conditions. This medication works by relaxing airway muscles, making breathing easier for individuals with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory disorders.

Uses

Asmalyn Syrup is primarily used to treat and prevent bronchospasm in patients with reversible obstructive airway disease. It’s effective in managing acute asthma attacks, providing quick relief from wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness associated with asthma and COPD.

Benefits

• Rapid relief from acute asthma symptoms
• Prevents exercise-induced bronchospasm
• Improves breathing in COPD patients
• Enhances quality of life for those with respiratory conditions
• Provides a non-invasive treatment option

How It Works

Salbutamol, the active ingredient in Asmalyn Syrup, is a selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist. It works by stimulating these receptors in the lungs, causing the smooth muscles in the airways to relax. This action leads to bronchodilation, widening the airways and making breathing easier.

Dosage

Adults and children over 12 years: 5-10 ml (2-4 mg) three to four times daily. Children 6-12 years: 5 ml (2 mg) three to four times daily. Children 2-5 years: 2.5-5 ml (1-2 mg) three to four times daily. Always follow your doctor’s prescription, as dosage may vary based on individual needs and severity of the condition.

Duration of Action

The bronchodilating effect of Asmalyn Syrup typically begins within 5-15 minutes after administration and can last for 4-6 hours. Regular use as prescribed is necessary for optimal management of chronic respiratory conditions.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include tremor, headache, tachycardia, and nervousness. These are usually mild and subside as the body adjusts to the medication. Serious side effects are rare but may include chest pain or severe dizziness.

Warning

Overuse of Asmalyn Syrup can lead to tolerance and decreased effectiveness. It should not be used as a substitute for long-term asthma control medications. Seek immediate medical attention if your symptoms worsen or if you need to use the medication more frequently than prescribed.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Pregnant women should use Asmalyn Syrup only if clearly needed. The benefits must outweigh potential risks. It’s generally considered safe during breastfeeding, but consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Interactions

• May interact with beta-blockers, reducing effectiveness
• Can potentiate effects of other sympathomimetic agents
• May increase risk of hypokalemia when used with certain diuretics

Important Information

Store Asmalyn Syrup in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shake well before each use. Do not exceed the prescribed dose. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider immediately. Regular follow-ups are essential for proper management of your respiratory condition.
