Please consult your healthcare professional before taking any medicine.Ventolin is a prescription medicine used to treat asthma and other lung conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Ventolin is commonly prescribed as an aerosol inhalant administered through an inhaler. For most individuals, two inhalations should be taken every four to six hours. This usually comes out to about two inhalations four times a day. More frequent inhalations are not recommended.
To prevent exercise-induced bronchospasms, it is recommended that you take two inhalations of Ventolin fifteen minutes before physical activity.
The exact dosage and schedule will vary depending on the patient's age, body weight, and severity of the condition. Take the medication exactly as your doctor has instructed.
Do not increase your dosage or discontinue the use of Ventolin unless ordered to do so by your doctor. If you experience any adverse reactions, contact a health care provider. Your dosage may increase or decrease depending on your doctor’s orders.
You should store your medication in a closed container at room temperature, away from extreme heat, extreme cold, moisture, and direct light, and keep it out of the reach of children.
Gargle Ventolin dosageThe active ingredient in Ventolin is salbuted in a breathing device (salbutamol sulfate or salbutamol sulfate with a pressurised five-point fine consistency) for fifteen minutes. You will need a special inhaler to take the medication.
Ventolin comes in a 90-count bottle making it the longest available. You can take the medication every day.
The specific actions of Ventolin depend on a few different substances. As an aerosol powder, it is usually available in a 10-milliliter or 50-milliliter caneca/capistrano spray or a 10-milliliter caneca/capistrano capful. It is usually available in a 20-milliliter or 50-milliliter caneca/capful suspension.
Ventolin is mainly active in the lungs where it is important to breathe in deeply and deeply through the lungs. In people with bronchospasms, it is also known to prevent the narrowing of the airways caused by asthma. In people with normal asthma symptoms you will not notice an improvement in your symptoms.
The specific action of salbutamol sulfate is not well understood but it is believed to work by relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs. Salbutamol sulfate may also act as a diluent in the airways so that the air passages are more open.
In people with asthma there may be an increase in the amount of beta-2-adrenergic agonist released into the blood stream and an increase in the amount of anti-inflammatory action (including reducing the amount of mucus in the lungs) which leads to less inflammation in the airways. Ventolin is most effective when started a certain number of minutes before you have asthma and it should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Ventolin is available in two different doses depending on the condition being treated:
The recommended starting dose of Ventolin is one 50-milliliter (200 milliliters) caneca/capful suspension and one 20-milliliter caneca/capful suspension. Your doctor will adjust the dose accordingly.
The recommended starting dose for adults is one 10-milliliter (20 milliliters) caneca/capful suspension and one 20-milliliter caneca/capful suspension.
Children can take a dose of Ventolin four times a day. If you have difficulty breathing, you should stop taking Ventolin and contact a doctor or pharmacist. You may need to take two inhalations of Ventolin fifteen minutes before physical activity.
Ventolin is best taken with food or milk and it may take 1 to 4 hours to start producing the same effects.
