Asthalin 4 mg Tablet

Asthalin 4 mg Tablet is an oral bronchodilator that contains 4 mg of salbutamol (albuterol) in each tablet. It belongs to the short-acting beta2-agonist (SABA) class and is used to help relieve or prevent bronchospasm in asthma and other reversible breathing problems. This strength is meant for patients whose doctor has decided they need a 4 mg tablet rather than a lower-strength option. Asthalin 4 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and is not a rescue inhaler substitute for immediate severe symptoms unless your prescriber specifically instructs you to use it that way.

How it works: Salbutamol/albuterol relaxes the smooth muscle around the airways so the tubes in the lungs open up and air can move more easily. In Asthalin 4 mg Tablet form, the medicine is absorbed through the stomach and intestines after swallowing, then helps reduce wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Asthalin 4 mg Tablet is a higher tablet strength than Asthalin 2 mg Tablet, so it is not the usual starting point for every patient. A doctor may choose Asthalin 4 mg Tablet when a 4 mg oral dose is appropriate for the person’s symptoms, age, and response to salbutamol/albuterol. Because it is an oral tablet, it may work more gradually than an inhaled bronchodilator and can feel more systemic, with a greater chance of tremor or palpitations at this strength.

• Asthma symptom relief
• Prevention of bronchospasm
• Wheezing
• Shortness of breath caused by reversible airway narrowing
• Exercise-related bronchospasm if prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Asthalin 4 mg Tablet with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly as prescribed; do not increase the dose because symptoms feel worse.
• If you are taking it to prevent exercise-induced symptoms, follow your prescriber’s timing instructions before activity.
• You can usually take the tablet with or without food, but taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not crush or split the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor tells you it is safe to do so.
• If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Asthalin 4 mg Tablet provides 4 mg of salbutamol/albuterol per tablet. How often it is taken depends on the patient’s condition and the prescriber’s plan; the exact dose and schedule should be set by a doctor. Because this is a 4 mg tablet rather than the lower 2 mg strength, it may be used when a higher oral dose is needed, but the total daily amount should stay within the doctor’s instructions and typical maximum limits for oral salbutamol.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Salbutamol / Albuterol may include:

• Tremor or shakiness, which may be more noticeable at the 4 mg strength
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations
• Nervousness or jitteriness
• Headache
• Muscle cramps
• Nausea or stomach upset

• Use caution if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, an irregular heartbeat, or thyroid disease.
• Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, because albuterol can affect blood sugar.
• Asthalin 4 mg Tablet may cause tremor, dizziness, or palpitations, which can affect driving or operating machinery.
• Do not use it more often than prescribed; overuse can increase side effects and may signal poorly controlled asthma.
• Let your clinician know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy.
• Tell your doctor about any history of seizures or low potassium.
• Seek urgent care if symptoms are getting worse instead of improving after use.

• Other bronchodilators or asthma medicines that also stimulate the heart
• Beta-blockers, including some blood pressure or heart medicines
• MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants
• Diuretics that can lower potassium
• Digoxin, because albuterol may affect digoxin levels or response
