SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION

SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION is used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION helps relieve symptoms like coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes).

SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION contains 'Salbutamol,' a bronchodilator. It relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Thus, it provides relief from symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Use SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION as prescribed. Your doctor will advise on how often you need to take SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION based on your medical condition. The common side effects of SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION include nausea, vomiting, restlessness, headache, muscle tightness, dryness or soreness of the throat, dizziness, sleepiness, nasal congestion (stuffy nose), and increased heart rate. Most of these side effects of SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please seek medical help.

Inform your doctor if you have any heart, liver or kidney diseases, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), stomach ulcer, seizure (fits), high blood pressure or diabetes. SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION may cause a rise in blood sugar levels. Hence, diabetic patients should monitor their blood glucose levels and use this medicine only with a doctor's advice. Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any other medicines. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION as it can cause increased sleepiness. Try not to stop taking this medicine on your own.

SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION contains Salbutamol, a bronchodilator. It helps treat respiratory problems like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic bronchitis. It works by relaxing and widening the lungs' airways, making it easier to breathe, especially in asthma and COPD patients.

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Restlessness

• Headache

• Muscle tightness

• Dryness or soreness of the throat

• Dizziness

• Sleepiness

• Nasal congestion (stuffy nose)

Inform your doctor beforehand if you have any heart, liver, or kidney diseases, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), stomach ulcer, seizure (fits), high blood pressure or diabetes. SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION may cause hypokalaemia (low potassium levels in the blood) in some patients leading to severe heart diseases, so SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION should be used cautiously. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Limit alcohol intake since it may worsen the side effects like sleepiness and shakiness.

Drug-Drug Interaction: SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION may interact with non-selective beta-blocking drugs (propranolol), antidepressants (clomipramine), anti-hypertensive drugs (guanethidine and methyldopa), anti-anxiety drugs (diazepam, lorazepam), blood clot drugs (ticlopidine), gout drugs (allopurinol), heart rhythm drugs (verapamil), hormone problems/birth control drugs (oestrogen, progesterone), immune disorder drugs, anti-seizure drugs (phenobarbital, phenytoin), and stomach acid-reducing drugs (cimetidine).

Drug-Food Interaction: Limit alcohol intake since it may worsen the side effects like sleepiness and shakiness.

Drug-Disease Interaction: If you have gastric or peptic ulcer, sepsis, hypokalaemia (low potassium in the blood), lactic acidosis (excess acid in the bloodstream), liver/kidney diseases (especially cirrhosis or hepatitis), fluid in the lungs, heart problems, overactive thyroid,  and seizures (fits), inform your doctor before taking SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION.

• PROPRANOLOL
• CLOMIPRAMINE
• GUANETHIDINE
• METHYLDOPA
• DIAZEPAM
• LORAZEPAM
• TICLOPIDINE
• ALLOPURINOL
• VERAPAMIL
• OESTROGEN
• PROGESTERONE
• PHENOBARBITAL
• PHENYTOIN

• Know your triggers like allergens, such as pollen, dust and food items that make your asthma severe.

• Quit smoking and avoid passive smoking. Smoking also reduces the effectiveness of SALBAIR RESPIRATORY SOLUTION.

• Eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system.

• Learning breathing exercises will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.

• Monitor your blood glucose levels regularly since bronchodilators can raise blood sugar levels.

Asthma: It is a condition in which airways narrow, swell and may produce extra mucus, which may lead to breathing difficulty and trigger cough, a whistling sound (wheezing) when you breathe out and shortness of breath.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): It is a group of progressive lung diseases, most commonly emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation and irritation of bronchial tubes). Initially, it may be mild, but in severe cases, it can lead to total blockage of airways and damage to the lungs.
