Here’s a detailed description of the Asthalin 100mcg Inhaler:

Active Ingredient:

• Salbutamol (also known as Albuterol): Salbutamol is a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist bronchodilator. It relaxes the smooth muscles in the airways, leading to their dilation and improved airflow.

Indications:

• Asthalin 100mcg Inhaler is commonly prescribed for the treatment and management of various respiratory conditions, including:

• • Asthma: A chronic condition that results in intermittent airway constriction and inflammation, leading to symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A group of lung diseases, such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema, which cause breathing difficulties due to narrowed airways.
  • Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm: To prevent or relieve bronchoconstriction triggered by physical activity.

Actions:

• Salbutamol (Albuterol) in the Asthalin inhaler works by binding to beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the smooth muscle of the airways. This binding triggers the relaxation of these muscles, resulting in bronchodilation, and thus, improved airflow.
