Description
Ventolin (Salbutamol) is a bronchodilator. It is typically used to treat or prevent sudden worsening of shortness of breath and wheezing (bronchospasm) in patients with asthma (a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus), and prevent shortness of breath during exercise. It may also have other uses.
Additional information
Ventolin (Salbutamol) is typically given continuously as an intravenous infusion. It will be given to you by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinical setting. It is injected into the veins (intravenous - IV). However, your doctor or pharmacist may have suggested a different schedule that is more appropriate for you. WARNING: Occasionally, such medications may cause the airways to spasm and close up, making breathing even more difficulty (bronchospasm) and can be life-threatening. Use with caution in patients with diabetes (may increase blood sugar level), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid, a gland in the neck), or seizure disorders. In addition to its desired action, Ventolin (Salbutamol) may cause some side effects, notably: It may cause excitement, nervousness, trembling, or palpitations (rapid heartbeat). It may cause dizziness, headache, or trouble sleeping. It may cause infections of the respiratory tract (e.g., sore throat), increase blood pressure, chest pain, or nausea. Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to Salbutamol or any component of the formulation. Taking Ventolin (Salbutamol) during pregnancy may be harmful for the baby. Women of childbearing potential should use an effective contraceptive method. Pregnant women should not use this product. If you're planning a pregnancy or become pregnant or breastfeeding, contact your family doctor. A treatment with Ventolin (Salbutamol) requires regular monitoring by a doctor.
