Asthalin 2mg – Salbutamol Tablets

WHAT IS THIS MEDICATION FOR?
Asthalin 2mg is used to treat and prevent asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory conditions involving airway narrowing or obstruction.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Asthalin contains Salbutamol, a short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA). It works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, allowing them to open up and making breathing easier.

HOW TO USE?
Take Asthalin 2mg as directed by your doctor, typically 2 to 4 times daily. Swallow the tablet with water, with or without food. Do not exceed the prescribed dose.

SIDE EFFECTS
Common: Tremors, headache, nervousness, fast heartbeat
Rare: Muscle cramps, chest pain, low potassium levels
Report any serious or persistent side effects to your doctor.

WHAT TO DO IF I MISS A DOSE?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not double the dose.

CAN I TAKE IT WITH OTHER MEDICINES?

  These may increase the risk of side effects or reduce effectiveness.
