Ventolin is a medication that contains the active ingredient salbutamol, which belongs to a group of medicines called bronchodilators. This medication works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier for you to breathe. Ventolin is suitable for individuals with conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that cause difficulty breathing. It helps to relieve symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Dosage and usage

For adults and children over 4 years old, the usual dose is 1 to 2 puffs when needed to relieve symptoms. The maximum dose is 8 puffs in a 24-hour period. If you find that you need to use Ventolin more frequently than usual, or if it becomes less effective at relieving your symptoms, you should consult your healthcare provider. The effects of Ventolin typically last for 4 to 6 hours. If you experience worsening breathing difficulties or your inhaler does not help, seek medical assistance immediately.
