Ventorlin CFC Free Inhaler 100 mcg/18 mg

Ventorlin CFC Free Inhaler 100 mcg/18 mg is a salbutamol (albuterol) inhaler used for quick relief of asthma symptoms. Each Ventorlin CFC Free Inhaler 100 mcg/18 mg pack contains 100 mcg/18 mg of medicine per inhaler dose presentation as supplied in the package of 10 packs. It belongs to the short-acting beta2-agonist (SABA) bronchodilator class and is used to help open the airways during wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and bronchospasm.

How it works: Salbutamol (albuterol) relaxes the muscles around the airways so they open up and air can move more easily in and out of the lungs. Because Ventorlin CFC Free Inhaler 100 mcg/18 mg is inhaled, the medicine goes straight to the lungs for fast relief.

Ventorlin CFC Free Inhaler 100 mcg/18 mg is a standard rescue-strength inhaler, not a maintenance controller inhaler. It is chosen for people who need fast-acting symptom relief, and the exact 100 mcg/18 mg strength is commonly used when a doctor wants a portable, quick-onset option that can be used as needed rather than on a fixed schedule.

• Quick relief of asthma symptoms

• Relief of shortness of breath
• Relief of chest tightness caused by bronchospasm

• Use Ventorlin CFC Free Inhaler 100 mcg/18 mg exactly as your doctor prescribed; do not use it more often just because symptoms feel bothersome.
• Shake the inhaler well before each use and follow the priming steps in the package instructions if the inhaler is new or has not been used for a while.
• Breathe out fully, place the mouthpiece in your mouth, and press the inhaler as you breathe in slowly and deeply.
• Hold your breath for about 10 seconds if you can, then breathe out slowly.
• If a second puff is prescribed, wait about 1 minute before taking it.

Ventorlin CFC Free Inhaler 100 mcg/18 mg delivers 100 mcg of salbutamol (albuterol) per actuation from the inhaler as supplied in the pack. The exact number of puffs, how often it may be used, and the maximum daily amount depend on your doctor’s instructions; many patients use it only as needed for symptoms or before exercise, but overuse can be dangerous. If you need it more often than prescribed, you should contact your doctor because your asthma may not be well controlled.

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