Asthalin Respules (Salbutamol)

1. What are Asthalin Respules (Salbutamol) used for?

Asthalin Respules contain Salbutamol and are used for the treatment and relief of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other breathing difficulties. They help relax the airway muscles, making it easier to breathe during asthma attacks or episodes of wheezing and shortness of breath.

2. How do Asthalin Respules work?

Salbutamol, the active ingredient in Asthalin Respules, is a short-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles surrounding the airways, allowing them to open. This improves airflow and provides rapid relief from bronchospasm.
