Ventolin Caution For Usage

Incompatibilities: None known/reported.
Syrup: Ventolin syrup is sugar free. Dilution of Ventolin syrup with Syrup BP or Sorbitol solution is not recommended as this may result in the precipitation of the cellulose thickening agent. If dilution is required freshly prepared Purified Water BP should be used.
Special Precautions for Disposal and Other Handling: Syrup: Ventolin syrup may be diluted with Purified Water BP (50% v/v). The resulting mixture should be protected from light and used within 28 days.
A 50% v/v dilution of Ventolin syrup has been shown to be adequately preserved against microbial contamination. However, to avoid the possibility of introducing excessive microbial contamination, the Purified Water used for dilution should be recently prepared or alternatively it should be boiled and cooled immediately before use.
Admixture of Ventolin syrup with other liquid preparation is not recommended.
Instructions for Use/Handling: Dilution: Respirator Solution/Nebule: VENTOLIN respirator solution and/or nebules may be diluted with sterile normal saline.
Any unused solution in the chamber of the nebuliser must be discarded.
Infusion: VENTOLIN parenteral preparations may be diluted with Water for Injections BP, Sodium Chloride Injection BP, Sodium Chloride and Dextrose Injection BP or Dextrose Injection BP. These are the only recommended diluents.
