Albuterol 2.5mg/2ml Respule

Albuterol is the world's most popular asthma medication. Albuterol is a bronchodilator and can help treat or prevent symptopms of asthma, emphysema, bronchitis and other lung diseases. The generic name of Albuterol is Salbutamol. Albuterol works by opening up the bronchial tubes and increasing air flow to the lungs. Albuterol is primarily used to treat symptoms of lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema and bronchitis. These symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, coughing.

Warning/Precautions:
Albuterol, as with all sympathomimetic amines, should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders, especially coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, and hypertension; in patients with convulsive disorders, hyperthyroidism, or diabetes mellitus; and in patients who are unusually responsive to sympathomimetic amines. Clinically significant changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure have been seen in individual patients and could be expected to occur in some patients after use of any beta-adrenergic bronchodilator.

Use:
Shake the inhalation aerosol canister well before using and make sure it's firmly seated in the plastic mouthpiece. Before using it for the first time, prime the canister with 4 sprays into the air away from your face. Prime it with 2 sprays whenever it has not been used for at least 4 days. Use only the adapter that comes with the product; do not use this adapter with any other product. Wash the plastic mouthpiece with warm running water at least once a week to prevent medication buildup and blockage.
If you are using an inhalation solution, be sure to protect it from contamination. Keep the tip of the dropper away from the lip of the bottle or any other surface. Do not use the solution if it changes color or becomes cloudy.
Do not exceed your doctor's recommended dose of albuterol. If you need more than usual, check with your doctor. Your asthma may be getting unstable, and you may need another medication. Do not, however, change your medication without first consulting your doctor or pharmacist.
