Asthalin HFA Inhaler 100 mcg (200 mdi)

Description

💊 Asthalin HFA Inhaler 100 mcg (200 mdi) Product Description

Asthalin HFA Inhaler 100 mcg (200 mdi) provides rapid and effective relief from the symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. As a reliable “reliever” or “rescue” inhaler, it contains Salbutamol (Albuterol) in an eco-friendly Hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) propellant formulation.

Salbutamol is a selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist. When inhaled, it directly relaxes the smooth muscles lining the walls of the airways (bronchi), causing them to widen (bronchodilation). This action swiftly increases the flow of air into and out of the lungs, providing quick relief within minutes of administration.

Key Benefits:

• Rapid Rescue Relief: Delivers fast-acting relief from acute asthma symptoms or bronchospasm.
• Effective Bronchodilation: Quickly opens airways to ease breathing difficulty, wheezing, and coughing.
• Prophylactic Use: Can be used before exercise to prevent exercise-induced asthma.
• Convenient Dosage: Each unit provides 200 metered doses (mdy) for long-lasting use.
• HFA Formulation: Utilizes a non-CFC, environmentally conscious propellant.

🛡️ Precautions

Is Asthalin HFA Inhaler 100 mcg (200 mdi) Right for You?

Consult your doctor before use if you have a history of heart problems (e.g., angina, high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythm), an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), or diabetes. This inhaler should only be used to treat or prevent breathing problems as prescribed by a healthcare professional. It is important to inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, especially other inhaled or oral bronchodilators.

DO NOT STOP SUDDENLY: Never abruptly discontinue this medication or change your dosage without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better. If you find yourself needing to use this rescue inhaler more frequently than usual, it indicates your underlying condition may be worsening, and you must seek immediate medical attention.
