About Salbair Transpules

Salbair Transpules is used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Salbair Transpules 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 Transpules contains 'Salbutamol,' a bronchodilator. It relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. Salbair Transpules makes breathing easier by widening the airways. Thus, it provides relief from symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Use Salbair Transpules as prescribed. Your doctor will advise on how often you need to take Salbair Transpules based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Salbair Transpules 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 Transpules 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 Transpules 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 Transpules as it can cause increased sleepiness. Try not to stop taking this medicine on your own.
