💊 Ventolin Evohaler 100 mcg (200 mdi) Product Description

The Ventolin Evohaler, containing 100 micrograms of Salbutamol per metered dose (200 actuations total), is a trusted, fast-acting rescue inhaler prescribed for the relief of bronchospasm in conditions like asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is essential for managing acute symptoms and preventing exercise-induced breathing difficulties.

Ventolin’s active ingredient, Salbutamol (a selective β

-receptors in the smooth muscle lining of the airways. This stimulation causes the muscles to relax and widen the bronchial tubes, quickly improving airflow into and out of the lungs and alleviating symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.

• Rapid Symptom Relief: Provides quick relief from acute asthma symptoms, often within minutes.
• Effective Bronchodilation: Opens up narrowed airways to restore normal breathing.
• Prevention of Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm: Can be used proactively before physical activity to prevent breathing difficulties.
• Trusted and Established: A widely used and reliable standard treatment in respiratory care.
