What Ventolin Evohaler is used for
Ventolin is used to relieve sudden asthma or COPD symptoms - wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness - by relaxing the muscles in the airways. It's also commonly used just before exercise to prevent exercise-induced symptoms.
How to take it / Dosage
Usually 1-2 puffs when needed for symptom relief, or as prescribed. Shake well before use and follow the inhaler technique shown by your pharmacist or doctor - correct technique makes a real difference to how much medicine reaches your lungs. Ask your pharmacist to check your technique if you're not sure.
Active ingredient
Salbutamol (Albuterol) 100mcg/dose (Short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA) bronchodilator).
Side effects
Common side effects include a mild tremor (shakiness), headache, and a fast or noticeable heartbeat, especially after higher doses. These usually settle down as your body adjusts.
Warnings & who should not take it
If you need to use your reliever inhaler more than 2-3 times a week outside of exercise, or your symptoms are getting worse, see a doctor - this can be a sign your asthma needs better long-term control, not just more reliever medicine. Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before starting.
