Asthalin Respules 2.5 mL

Asthalin Respules 2.5 mL contains salbutamol (albuterol), a short-acting beta2-agonist bronchodilator used to quickly open the airways. Each respule delivers 2.5 mL of medicine for nebulization, and this strength is commonly used for relief of bronchospasm in asthma and other reversible airway problems. Asthalin Respules 2.5 mL is meant to be inhaled through a nebulizer, not swallowed. It can help ease wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath when used as directed by a clinician.

How it works: Salbutamol (albuterol) relaxes the smooth muscle around the airways, which helps the breathing tubes open up. In Asthalin Respules 2.5 mL, the medicine is turned into a mist by a nebulizer so it can reach the lungs quickly and work fast.

Asthalin Respules 2.5 mL is a standard nebulizer strength for people who need inhaled albuterol in liquid form, especially when they have trouble using an inhaler or need treatment during an asthma flare. Because it is a ready-to-use respule, a doctor may choose Asthalin Respules 2.5 mL for patients who need reliable, inhaled rescue therapy rather than a tablet or a meter-dosed inhaler. It is not a higher-dose tablet; the 2.5 mL refers to the nebulizer unit volume and the dose should be measured and used exactly as prescribed.

• Quick relief of bronchospasm in asthma
• Wheezing and shortness of breath
• Chest tightness from reversible airway narrowing
• Exercise-induced bronchospasm when prescribed for prevention
• Rescue treatment during flare-ups

• Use Asthalin Respules 2.5 mL only with a nebulizer and the prescribed breathing mask or mouthpiece.
• Open one respule only when you are ready to use it; do not store leftover liquid after opening.
• Do not swallow the contents or inject it.
• Breathe in the mist slowly and deeply through the nebulizer until the treatment is finished.
• Take it exactly as your doctor instructed; it is often used when symptoms start, and sometimes before exercise if prescribed.
• If you are also using other inhaled medicines, use them in the order your clinician recommends.

Each Asthalin Respules 2.5 mL dose provides 2.5 mL of nebulizer solution, but the actual amount of salbutamol/albuterol in the respule should be confirmed from the package labeling and your prescription. Adults and children may use it 3 or 4 times a day, but the exact frequency and the maximum daily amount must be set by the doctor based on age, symptoms, and response. Do not use more often than prescribed, because too much albuterol can cause side effects and may signal worsening asthma.

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

Common side effects of Salbutamol / Albuterol may include:

• Shakiness or tremor
• Nervousness or restlessness
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Throat irritation or cough during nebulization
• Mild nausea

• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or seizures.
• Use caution if you feel shaky or dizzy after treatment, since Asthalin Respules 2.5 mL can affect alertness and coordination.
• Do not use more often than prescribed; frequent need for rescue medicine can mean your asthma is not controlled.
• If you are also taking diuretics, digoxin, or other medicines that affect heart rhythm, ask about monitoring.
• Alcohol can worsen dizziness or palpitations in some people, so use caution.
• Seek medical advice if symptoms do not improve quickly or if you need the respules more often than usual.
• Keep rescue medicine available, but do not use it as a substitute for long-term asthma control therapy if prescribed.

• Other bronchodilators or asthma rescue medicines may increase side effects like tremor and fast heartbeat.
• Beta-blockers can reduce the effect of albuterol and may trigger breathing problems.
• Diuretics can increase the risk of low potassium when combined with albuterol.
• Digoxin levels or its effect may be altered in some patients using albuterol.
• Certain MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants may increase cardiovascular side effects.
