Salbutamol Syrup IP 2mg per 5ml Uses
Salbutamol syrup is a bronchodilator used to relieve symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and other lung conditions that cause narrowing of the airways. It helps ease wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. This medicine is commonly prescribed for children and adults who have difficulty using inhalers.
How Salbutamol Syrup Works
Salbutamol is a selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, allowing them to widen so that air can flow more freely in and out of the lungs. The effect starts within 30 minutes and lasts for about 4 to 6 hours.
