Asthalin Respules (Salbutamol 2.5mg) – Fast-Acting Asthma & COPD Relief

Asthalin Respules contain salbutamol, a fast-acting bronchodilator that provides immediate relief from asthma and COPD symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and breathlessness. These 2.5ml nebulizer solutions work within minutes to open airways during acute attacks. As a “reliever” medication, Asthalin should be used alongside a daily “preventer” inhaler for comprehensive respiratory management. The effects typically last 4-6 hours, making it ideal for both scheduled use and emergency symptom relief.

How Asthalin Respules Works?

Salbutamol stimulates beta-2 receptors in lung muscles, causing rapid relaxation of bronchial walls. This dilation of airways allows for improved oxygen flow and easier breathing within minutes of administration.

• Diabetes: May increase blood sugar
• Pregnancy: Consult doctor before use
• Breastfeeding: Generally considered safe
• Overuse: Can cause paradoxical bronchospasm

FAQs:

Q1. How quickly does Asthalin Respules work?

Bronchodilation begins within 5 minutes, peaks at 30-60 minutes, and lasts 4-6 hours. Effects may be slightly delayed during severe attacks.

Q2. Can I use Asthalin daily?

Regular daily use indicates poor asthma control. If needing >3-4 doses weekly, consult your doctor about adjusting your preventer medication.

Q3. Why do I shake after using Asthalin?

Tremors are a common systemic effect from beta-2 stimulation. These usually diminish with continued use as your body adjusts.

Q4. Can Asthalin make my breathing worse?

Rarely, paradoxical bronchospasm may occur. Stop use immediately and seek medical help if breathing difficulties increase after administration.

Q5. How should I store these respules?

Store below 30°C in original packaging. Once opened, use immediately – never store partially used respules.

Q6. Can I use Asthalin before exercise?

Yes, using 15-30 minutes before physical activity can prevent exercise-induced symptoms in many patients.
