Ventolin Inhaler

Ventolin is an asthma inhaler, which relieves acute symptoms of asthma. The inhaler contains salbutamol, an active ingredient which reduces the constriction in your airways which causes asthma. Ventolin is a brand name for the medication salbutamol which is a bronchodilator used to treat and prevent symptoms of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways in the lungs, making it easier to breathe.

What is the Blue Asthma Inhaler?

Ventolin is a blue inhaler that contains the ingredient Salbutamol. Ventolin inhalers work by opening up the airways, relieving the symptoms of asthma such as breathlessness, wheeze or tight chest. They are therefore known as "relievers". VENTOLIN acts within minutes, and symptom relief should last 4 to 6 hours.

Dosage

Ventolin inhalers should be used as necessary to ease symptoms of an asthma attack. Alternatively, they can be used 20 minutes in advance of exercise or exposure to an allergen, in order to prevent an attack. Generally, the recommended dose is one inhalation of the Accuhaler or two from the Evohaler. Do not exceed eight puffs within a 24 hour period. If you find that you require a reliever inhaler more than three times each week, this means that your asthma is not well-controlled – consult your GP to see if better treatments are available.
