Astharid 2 mg Tablet

Astharid 2 mg Tablet is a salbutamol (albuterol) bronchodilator tablet used to help open the airways in people with asthma and other reversible breathing problems. Each Astharid 2 mg Tablet contains 2 mg of salbutamol/albuterol in tablet form. It is used to relieve symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath, and may also be prescribed to help prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm. This is a medicine that should be used exactly as directed by a doctor because the right dose depends on the person and their symptoms.

How it works: Salbutamol/albuterol is a short-acting beta2-agonist that relaxes the muscles around the airways, which helps the air passages open up and makes breathing easier. In Astharid 2 mg Tablet form, the medicine is absorbed after swallowing and then works throughout the body to ease bronchospasm.

Astharid 2 mg Tablet is a lower-strength oral tablet option, which may suit patients who need a small, adjustable salbutamol dose rather than an inhaler or a higher tablet strength. Because it is a tablet taken by mouth, it is not as fast-acting as an inhaled albuterol product, so a doctor may choose it when a slower, systemic effect is preferred or when inhaler use is not suitable.

• Relief of asthma symptoms
• Bronchospasm relief
• Prevention of exercise-induced breathing problems
• Wheezing and chest tightness
• Shortness of breath due to reversible airway narrowing

• Swallow Astharid 2 mg Tablet with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly at the dose and schedule prescribed; do not change the frequency on your own.
• If it is prescribed for exercise-related symptoms, take it before activity only if your doctor has instructed you to do so.
• You can take it with or without food, but taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not use extra tablets for sudden severe breathing trouble unless your doctor specifically told you to.
• If symptoms are not improving or are getting worse, seek medical care promptly.

Each Astharid 2 mg Tablet provides 2 mg of salbutamol/albuterol per tablet. The dose may be taken once or several times a day depending on the condition being treated, but the exact frequency and maximum number of tablets per day must be set by the prescriber for the individual patient. Because this is a 2 mg tablet, it is a meaningful oral dose and should be used only under medical guidance.

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