Overview
Square Saltamol 100mcg Dose Inhaler contains salbutamol 100mcg per actuation, a short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA) bronchodilator delivered via a metered-dose inhaler. It is used for the rapid relief of sudden breathlessness and wheeze in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and can also be used just before exercise to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm.
Salbutamol works by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the smooth muscle of the airways, causing rapid relaxation of the muscle and widening of the airways (bronchodilation), which relieves breathlessness and wheeze usually within minutes.
How it Works
Salbutamol selectively stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors on the smooth muscle cells lining the airways, activating a signalling pathway that relaxes the muscle within minutes. This widens the airways, reduces airway resistance, and rapidly improves airflow during an asthma or COPD flare-up.
Directions for Use
Shake the inhaler well before use. Breathe out fully, place the mouthpiece in your mouth, and press the canister while breathing in slowly and deeply, then hold your breath for about 10 seconds before breathing out. Use a spacer device if advised by your doctor, especially for children or those who find coordination difficult.
Dosage
The usual adult dose is 1 to 2 puffs (100 to 200mcg) as needed for symptom relief, or 1 to 2 puffs 10 to 15 minutes before exercise to prevent exercise-induced symptoms. Do not exceed the maximum number of puffs advised by your doctor in a 24-hour period, and seek medical review if you find yourself needing this inhaler more often than usual.
