Ventolin Evohaler 100mcg is a fast-acting rescue inhaler that provides quick relief from asthma attacks and breathlessness. It contains salbutamol sulfate, a bronchodilator drug that relaxes tightened airway muscles to improve airflow.
Uses
Ventolin Evohaler is used for rapid, short-term treatment and prevention of bronchospasm in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other chronic lung diseases. It works by relaxing airway smooth muscle contractions during acute exacerbations.
Benefits
- Quickly relaxes bronchial airway spasms to relieve asthma attacks
- Opens constricted airways to improve breathing difficulty rapidly
- Reverses wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing due to asthma
- Prevents exercise-induced bronchospasm
Mechanism of Action
Salbutamol stimulates beta2 receptors on airway smooth muscle, activating adenylyl cyclase to increase intracellular cAMP levels. This relaxes bronchial muscle contraction.
Dosage
Adults and adolescents over 12 years: 100-200 mcg as required via oral inhalation. Not more than 800 mcg total daily dose.
Side Effects
Tremor, headache, increased heart rate.
Warning
Not for primary treatment of acute asthma attacks. Seek immediate medical help if rescue inhaler does not relieve symptoms sufficiently.
