Salbair I Neb 1.25 Transpules 2.5ml

Introduction

Salbair I Neb is a prescription medication that combines two active ingredients: Levosalbutamol and Ipratropium. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that helps relax the muscles in the airways, while Ipratropium is an anticholinergic that works by reducing the secretion of mucus in the respiratory tract. Together, these medications provide relief for respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchitis.

Uses

Salbair I Neb are commonly prescribed for the management of asthma and COPD. It helps improve breathing by opening up the airways and reducing symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. This medication is suitable for both adults and children above the age of 6.

Dosage and Administration

Salbair I Neb are intended for inhalation use only. The recommended dosage will depend on the severity of the condition and the individual patient’s response to the medication. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or as indicated on the product label. Generally, the usual dose is 1 to 2 inhalations, taken 3 to 4 times a day. Use the medication regularly for optimal results.

Mechanism of Action

Levosalbutamol, a selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist, works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, allowing the air to flow more freely. Ipratropium, an anticholinergic, helps to reduce the secretion of mucus in the respiratory tract, further improving airflow. By combining the effects of these two medications, Salbair I Neb provide effective relief for respiratory conditions.
