Product Information

Ventodisk contains salbutamol. Salbutamol is used to relieve and prevent bronchospasm associated with asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and other pulmonary disorders where bronchospasm is a complicating factor. It is also indicated in the prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm. Often, salbutamol users, who use their medication properly never experience unwanted effects. The severity and duration of these effects are dependant on many factors including duration of therapy, dose, and individual response. Possible unwanted effects include:

*cough (inhaled preparations only)

*nervousness

*slight palpitations (awareness of heart beat)

*tremor

*dry mouth and throat (inhaled preparations only)

Many of these unwanted effects, especially the most common ones, may disappear with continued use. Check with the doctor or pharmacist if any of them continue or become bothersome. Not usually recommended for children under 6 years old. Poor response to salbutamol can often be attributed to improper use of the delivery device. Be sure to follow the directions given to you by your pharmacist and read the patient instructions that are provided with each product. Never exceed the maximum dosage set by your physician. If you find that you are not responding to your usual dose, it could mean that your asthma is worsening and you should contact your physician. Increasing the dose, especially over extended periods, can lead to decreasing response to the drug. Keep in mind that the bronchodilator action should last between 3 and 8 hours. If you are using salbutamol for an acute asthma episode and the condition continues or worsens, call your doctor or seek medical attention immediately. If you need to use salbutamol to relieve symptoms more than 3 times a week you should also be using an anti-inflammatory medication (e.g. beclomethasone, fluticasone). Ventodisk is meant for inhalation and should only be used with a Ventodisk Diskhaler device. The Diskhaler should be kept clean and dry at all times. This is a rescue medication and should be carried with you at all times. Remember that each disk contains only 8 doses, so always carry extra with you. The Diskhaler should be rinsed on a daily basis according to manufacturer's instructions.

Effects - How it works in the body

Ventodisk belongs to the family of beta 2 agonist drugs also known as bronchodilators drug and commonly used for the treatment and relieve of the symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other lung-related problems. Ventodisk works by acting on receptors in the lungs called beta 2 receptors. Stimulation of these receptors causes the muscles in the airways to relax, allowing the airways to open. In conditions where there is narrowing of the airways, such as asthma, emphysema and bronchitis, it is difficult for air to get in and out of the lungs. By opening the airways, Ventodisk makes it easier to breathe. Ventodisk medicine allows it to work directly in the lungs where it is needed most. Ventodisk works very quickly to relieve asthma attacks or shortness of breath. The Inhaler is taken regularly to help keep the airways open all the time and reduce the need for the inhaler.
