Salda Inhale

Contains the active ingredient : Salbutamol, which is a type of medicine known as a short-acting beta 2 agonist.

Salbutamol works by acting on receptors called beta 2 receptors. These are found in the lungs and the uterus (womb), which gives salbutamol infusion two very different uses.

When salbutamol stimulates the beta 2 receptors in the lungs, it causes the muscles in the airways to relax. This allows the airways to open and so makes it easier to breathe. Salbutamol may be given in hospital to treat severe narrowing of the airways that is causing difficulty breathing (bronchospasm). This might be due to a severe asthma attack, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, eg emphysema and chronic bronchitis), or a severe allergic reaction.

When salbutamol stimulates the beta 2 receptors in the uterus, it causes the muscles in the walls of the uterus to relax. This can stop the contractions associated with premature labour. Salbutamol can be used to stop labour that starts between 22 and 37 weeks of pregnancy. It usually delays delivery by at least 48 hours. This can give sufficient time to treat the mother with corticosteroids, or take other measures to improve the outcome for mother and baby, including moving the mother to a hospital with a neonatal intensive care unit.

What is it used for?

Relieving severe bronchospasm (breathing difficulties), eg due to asthma attacks or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
