Ventorlin Inhaler

Ventorlin Inhaler is a salbutamol/albuterol inhaler used for quick relief of bronchospasm. Each dose contains the amount of salbutamol/albuterol as labeled on the pack, and the medicine belongs to the short-acting beta2-agonist (SABA) class. It is used to treat and prevent wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath in asthma and related reversible airway narrowing. This Ventorlin Inhaler is a rescue inhaler, not a controller medicine for long-term daily inflammation control.

How it works: Salbutamol/albuterol relaxes the smooth muscles around the airways so the tubes open up and air can move more easily. In an inhaler, the medicine goes straight into the lungs, so Ventorlin Inhaler can start working quickly for sudden breathing symptoms.

Because Ventorlin Inhaler is the as-labeled strength in this product line and there are no other Ventorlin strengths/forms listed here, it should be used exactly as prescribed for rescue treatment. A doctor may choose this inhaler when fast symptom relief is needed and when a standard albuterol/salbutamol inhaler is appropriate for the patient’s age and condition. If symptoms are not relieved quickly or the inhaler is needed more often than directed, that can mean asthma is worsening and needs medical review.

• Quick relief of asthma symptoms
• Prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm
• Relief of wheezing and chest tightness
• Short-term treatment of reversible airway narrowing

• Use Ventorlin Inhaler exactly as your doctor prescribed and follow the inhaler instructions in the pack.
• If a dose is needed before exercise or a known trigger, use it only at the timing your clinician recommended.
• Shake and prime the inhaler if the label or leaflet says to do so before first use or after a period of not using it.
• Breathe out fully, place the mouthpiece in your mouth, press the inhaler as you start to inhale slowly and deeply, then hold your breath for a few seconds.
• If you need a second puff, wait the recommended interval between puffs and follow the prescribed number of doses only.
• Do not swallow the medicine; it is meant to be inhaled into the lungs.

Ventorlin Inhaler delivers salbutamol/albuterol as labeled per dose, and the exact number of puffs depends on the prescription and the patient’s age and response. It is commonly used as needed for sudden symptoms or before exercise, but the doctor decides the dose and timing. Do not exceed the maximum daily amount your prescriber gives you, because needing more frequent doses can signal poor asthma control.

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, which can be more noticeable with higher or repeated inhaled doses
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations
• Nervousness or jitteriness
• Headache
• Throat irritation or cough after use
• Mild muscle cramps

• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, arrhythmias, high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or seizure disorders.
• Use caution if you notice shaking, pounding heartbeat, or nervousness, since these effects can be more apparent with rescue doses.
• Do not use more often than prescribed; frequent need for Ventorlin Inhaler may mean your asthma is not controlled.
• If you use other inhalers or nebulized bronchodilators, make sure your clinician knows so your total beta-agonist exposure is considered.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding should be discussed with your clinician before use, even though inhaled albuterol/salbutamol is commonly used when needed.
• Avoid starting new cold medicines, stimulant products, or weight-loss products without checking for added heart-stimulating effects.
• If your rescue inhaler stops helping as usual, seek medical care rather than increasing doses on your own.

• Other beta-agonists such as labuterol-like or rescue bronchodilator medicines can increase side effects.
• Nonselective beta-blockers, including some heart medicines, can reduce the effect of Ventorlin Inhaler.
• Diuretics may increase the risk of low potassium when combined with frequent albuterol/salbutamol use.
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants can increase cardiovascular effects.
• Digoxin levels or response may be affected in some patients using frequent beta-agonists.

Store Ventorlin Inhaler at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight, and keep the mouthpiece cap on when not in use.
