Ventolin Evohaler

Composition:

1 aerosol can contains 200 doses of the drug, 1 dose contains 100 pg of salbutamol.

Auxiliary components:

propellant.

Properties:

Selective ß2-adrenergic receptor agonist. In therapeutic doses, it acts on ß2-adrenergic receptors of the smooth muscles of the bronchi and has a short (4 to 6 hours) bronchodilatory effect on ß2-adrenergic receptors with a rapid onset of action (within 5 minutes) with reversible airway obstruction.

It has a pronounced bronchodilatory effect, preventing or stopping bronchospasm, red resistance in the airways. Increases lung capacity. Increases mucociliary clearance (in

chronic bronchitis up to 36%), stimulates mucus secretion, activates the functions of the ciliated epithelium.

Indications:

Bronchial asthma:

relief of symptoms of bronchial asthma when they occur;

prevention of bouts of bronchospasm associated with exposure to an allergen or caused by exercise;

use as one of the components in long-term maintenance therapy of bronchial asthma.

Other chronic lung diseases with reversible airway obstruction, including COPD, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema.

Method of administration and dosage:

The drug Ventolin is intended only for inhalation administration by inhalation thro the mouth.

For relief of an attack of bronchospasm in adults, the recommended dose is 100 or 200 mcg; children – 100 mcg, if necessary, the dose can be increased to 200 mcg. It is not recommended to use the Ventolin inhaler more than 4 times / day. The need for such frequent use of additional doses of Ventolin or for a sharp increase in the dose indicates a worsening of the course of asthma.

To prevent attacks of bronchospasm associated with exposure to an allergen or caused by exercise, adults – 200 mcg 10-15 minutes before exposure to a provoking factor or load; children – 100 mcg 10-15 minutes before exposure to a provoking factor or load, if necessary, the dose can be increased to 200 mcg.

With long-term maintenance therapy for adults – up to 200 mcg 4 times / day; children up to 200 mcg 4 times / day.

Precautions:

Treatment of bronchial asthma is recommended in stages, monitoring the patient’s clinical response to treatment and lung function.

Bronchodilators should not be the only or main component in the treatment of unstable or severe bronchial asthma.

Side effects:

From the nervous system: often – tremor, headache; very rarely – hyperactivity.

From the side of the cardiovascular system:

often – tachycardia; infrequently – palpitations; rarely, peripheral vasodilation; very rarely arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia and extrasystole).
