Ventolin Indications/Uses

Syrup: Relief of bronchospasm in bronchial asthma of all types, chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Ventolin syrup is suitable oral therapy for children and adults who are unable to use an inhaler device.
Evohaler: VENTOLIN Evohaler provides short-acting (4 to 6 hours) bronchodilation with fast onset (within 5 minutes) in reversible airway obstruction.
It is particularly suitable for the relief and prevention of asthma symptoms. VENTOLIN Evohaler should be used to relieve symptoms when they occur, and to prevent them in those circumstances, recognised by the patient to precipitate an asthma attack (e.g. before exercise or unavoidable allergen exposure).
VENTOLIN Evohaler is particularly valuable as relief medication in mild, moderate or severe asthma, provided that reliance on it does not delay the introduction and use of regular inhaled corticosteroid therapy.
Respirator Solution: VENTOLIN Respirator Solution is indicated for the treatment of of acute severe asthma (status asthmaticus) and for routine management of chronic bronchospasm-unresponsive to conventional therapy.
Nebule: Salbutamol is a selective beta₂-adrenoceptor agonist. At therapeutic doses, it acts on the beta₂-adrenoceptors of bronchial muscle, with little or no action on the heart. With its fast onset of action, it is particularly suitable for the management and prevention of attack in asthma.
Routine management of chronic bronchospasm - unresponsive to conventional therapy.
Treatment of acute severe asthma (status asthmaticus).
Nebule/Infusion: Bronchodilators should not be the only or the main treatment in patients with severe or unstable asthma. Severe asthma requires regular medical assessment as death may occur. Patients with severe asthma have constant symptoms and frequent exacerbations, with limited physical capacity, and PEF values below 60% predicted at baseline with greater than 30% variability, usually not returning entirely to normal after a bronchodilator. These patients will require high dose inhaled (e.g. >1 mg/day beclomethasone dipropionate) or oral corticosteroid therapy. Sudden worsening of symptoms may require increased corticosteroid dosage which should be administered under urgent medical supervision.
Infusion: VENTOLIN is a selective β₂-adrenoceptor agonist. At therapeutic doses it acts on the β₂-adrenoceptors in the bronchi and uterus, with little or no actions on the β₁-adrenoceptors of the heart. It is suitable for the management of an asthmatic attack, and for uncomplicated premature labour, under the direction of a physician.
Relief of severe bronchospasm associated with asthma or bronchitis and for the treatment of status asthmaticus.
Management of uncomplicated premature labour in the last trimester of pregnancy.
