Indication/Uses:

Salbutamol Sulfate, in a 1mg/ml (2.5mg/2.5ml) solution for inhalation provided in nebulizer ampoules (nebules), is used to manage and treat various respiratory conditions by relaxing the muscles in the airways and improving airflow to the lungs. Here are the main indications and uses:

1. Asthma:

   • Acute Asthma Attacks: Provides rapid relief from symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness during an asthma attack.
   • Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm: Prevents and treats bronchospasm triggered by physical activity.

2. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):

   • Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema: Manages symptoms by improving airflow and reducing respiratory distress.

3. Bronchospasm:

   • Effective in treating bronchospasm associated with various conditions such as respiratory infections, allergies, and exposure to irritants.

4. Acute Severe Asthma (Status Asthmaticus):

   • Used in emergency treatment to provide rapid relief from severe asthma attacks.

5. Other Respiratory Conditions:

   • May be prescribed for conditions that cause reversible airway obstruction, improving breathing and reducing symptoms.

Mechanism of Action: Salbutamol is a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist. It works by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the bronchial smooth muscle, leading to relaxation and dilation of the airways. This helps alleviate symptoms of bronchospasm and improve airflow.

Dosage and Administration:

• Adults and Children Over 12 Years: Typically, one ampoule (2.5mg/2.5ml) is nebulized 3-4 times daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
• Children Aged 4-12 Years: Dosage may be adjusted based on the severity of the condition and the healthcare provider’s recommendations.

The solution is administered using a nebulizer, a device that converts the liquid medication into a fine mist that can be inhaled directly into the lungs. This method is particularly beneficial for patients who have difficulty using inhalers, such as young children or individuals experiencing severe respiratory distress.

It is important to follow the healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the use of Salbutamol Sulfate nebulization to ensure effective and safe management of respiratory conditions.
