Description
What Is Ventolin Evohaler?
Ventolin Evohaler is a fast-acting inhaler used to relieve symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains the active ingredient salbutamol, which belongs to a group of medicines known as bronchodilators. Ventolin Evohaler helps open up the airways, making it easier to breathe. It is commonly prescribed as a “reliever” inhaler to quickly address symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness, providing immediate relief during an asthma attack or flare-up.
How Does Ventolin Evohaler Work?
The active ingredient, salbutamol, works by relaxing the muscles in the walls of the small airways in the lungs. This action helps to open the airways and make breathing easier. As a fast-acting bronchodilator, the Ventolin Evohaler provides relief within minutes and is typically used on an as-needed basis when asthma or COPD symptoms arise. Each puff delivers 100 micrograms of salbutamol directly to the lungs. The effects last for up to 4-6 hours, making it a reliable option for managing sudden breathing difficulties.
