Salbetol 4 mg Tablets

Salbetol 4 mg Tablets are a prescription bronchodilator medicine 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 relax tight airway muscles in asthma and other reversible breathing problems. Salbetol 4 mg Tablets may help relieve wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Because this is the highest strength we offer in this brand, it is generally used when a doctor decides a higher tablet dose is appropriate.

How it works: Salbutamol/albuterol works by stimulating beta2 receptors in the airway muscles, which helps those muscles relax. In tablet form, Salbetol 4 mg Tablets provide this bronchodilator effect through the mouth rather than by inhalation.

Salbetol 4 mg Tablets are the highest strength in this brand range, with Salbetol 2 mg Tablets as the lower-strength option. The 4 mg tablet may be chosen for adults or other patients who have been assessed by a doctor and need a stronger oral dose than the 2 mg tablet can provide. It is not a casual starting strength, and the correct dose depends on the person’s symptoms, response, and medical history.

• Relief of bronchospasm in asthma
• Treatment of wheezing and shortness of breath
• Help with reversible airway narrowing
• Prevention of exercise-related bronchospasm when prescribed

• Swallow Salbetol 4 mg Tablets with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly as prescribed; do not take extra tablets just because symptoms feel worse.
• You may be told to take it at regular intervals or before exercise if it is being used to prevent symptoms.
• If it upsets your stomach, taking it with food may help some people.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically instructs you to do so.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time your doctor recommends.

Each Salbetol 4 mg Tablet provides 4 mg of salbutamol/albuterol, which is a higher tablet strength than Salbetol 2 mg Tablets. How often it is taken may vary, but oral salbutamol is commonly prescribed several times a day and should never exceed the daily limit set by the prescriber; your doctor determines the exact dose based on your condition and response.

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 with the 4 mg strength

• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using Salbetol 4 mg Tablets.
• Avoid driving or operating machinery if the tablet makes you shaky, dizzy, or jittery.
• Limit stimulants such as caffeine if they worsen tremor or rapid heartbeat.
• Seek urgent help if your breathing suddenly gets worse instead of better after a dose.
• Do not use this medicine as a replacement for a rescue inhaler plan unless your doctor tells you to.

• Beta-blockers such as propranolol can reduce the effect of albuterol/salbutamol.
• MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants may increase cardiovascular side effects.
• Other sympathomimetics or stimulant medicines can increase jitteriness and rapid heartbeat.
