Asthalin Inhaler In Stock

What Is Asthalin Inhaler?

Asthalin Inhaler is a fast-acting rescue inhaler containing Salbutamol (Albuterol) 100 mcg per actuation. Manufactured by Cipla Limited, it is the most commonly prescribed quick-relief inhaler for asthma attacks, wheezing, and sudden shortness of breath.

Each inhaler delivers 200 precisely metered doses, making it a reliable companion for anyone managing asthma or other breathing conditions. Asthalin is a rescue inhaler — designed for fast relief when you need it, not as a daily maintenance treatment.

How Does Asthalin Inhaler Work?

Salbutamol is a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (SABA). It works by binding to beta-2 receptors on the smooth muscle lining your airways. When these receptors are activated, the muscle relaxes rapidly — causing the airways to widen (bronchodilation) within minutes.

This fast-acting relief is why Salbutamol is classified as a “rescue” medication. It also helps reduce the release of inflammatory substances from mast cells that contribute to airway constriction during an asthma attack.

Who Should Use Asthalin Inhaler?

This inhaler is typically prescribed for adults and children (aged 4+) experiencing:

• Acute asthma symptoms — wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath
• Exercise-induced bronchospasm (as a preventive measure before physical activity)
• Breathing difficulties associated with COPD or other respiratory conditions
• Bronchospasm triggered by allergens, cold air, or respiratory infections

How to Use Your Inhaler Correctly

Proper technique ensures the medication reaches your lungs effectively:

1. Remove the cap and shake the inhaler well (4–5 shakes)
2. Breathe out fully — empty your lungs as much as comfortable
3. Place the mouthpiece between your lips and seal around it
4. Press down on the canister once while breathing in slowly and deeply
5. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then breathe out slowly
6. Wait 1 minute before a second puff if needed
7. Replace the cap and rinse your mouth with water

• Rapid Relief: Opens constricted airways within 3 to 5 minutes — critical during an asthma attack when every second counts
• 200 Metered Doses: Each inhaler lasts weeks to months depending on use frequency, providing consistent and reliable dosing
• Portable & Convenient: Compact design fits easily in a pocket, purse, or gym bag — always within reach when you need it
• Proven Track Record: Salbutamol has been the gold-standard rescue inhaler for decades with extensive safety data across all age groups
• Made by Cipla: One of the world’s most trusted respiratory medication manufacturers with over 80 years of pharmaceutical expertise
• Suitable for Children: Approved for use in children aged 4 and older (with adult supervision and spacer device recommended)

Common Side Effects

• Fine tremor, especially in the hands (usually temporary)
• Slightly faster heartbeat — typically settles within 15–30 minutes
• Headache and mild nervousness
• Throat irritation or dry mouth after inhalation

Less Common Side Effects

• Muscle cramps, particularly in the legs
• Restlessness or difficulty sleeping (if used late in the day)
• Changes in taste

Seek Immediate Medical Attention For

• Chest pain or significant irregular heartbeat
• Worsening breathing despite using the inhaler
• Severe allergic reaction (rash, swelling of face or throat, difficulty swallowing)
• Paradoxical bronchospasm (increased wheezing immediately after use) — stop using and call your doctor

• Not a Controller: This is a rescue inhaler only. It does NOT replace daily maintenance medications like inhaled corticosteroids
• Overuse Warning: Needing your rescue inhaler more frequently may signal worsening asthma — see your doctor rather than increasing use
• Heart Conditions: Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid problems, or seizure disorders before using
• Beta-Blockers: May reduce the bronchodilating effect of Salbutamol — discuss alternatives with your doctor
• Low Potassium: High doses or frequent use combined with certain diuretics may lower potassium levels
• Canister Safety: Do not puncture, burn, or expose the canister to temperatures above 50°C — pressurized container

• Always carry your rescue inhaler with you — especially during exercise, allergy season, or when exposed to known triggers
• Prime a new inhaler by spraying 4 test puffs into the air before first use (also re-prime if unused for 2+ weeks)
• Using a spacer device dramatically improves medication delivery to the lungs and is recommended for most users
• Track your puff count — replace the inhaler after 200 doses even if it feels like medication remains (propellant can persist)
• Clean the mouthpiece weekly with a dry cloth — do not wash with water
• Keep a backup inhaler at home, work, or school so you are never without one

• Active Ingredient: Salbutamol (Albuterol) 100 mcg per actuation
• Drug Class: Short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA)

• Beta-Blockers (propranolol, atenolol): May reduce or block the bronchodilating effect of Salbutamol — non-cardioselective beta-blockers are particularly problematic
• Digoxin: Salbutamol may decrease serum digoxin levels; monitoring may be needed
• Diuretics (furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide): Combined use increases the risk of low potassium (hypokalemia)
• MAO Inhibitors: May increase cardiovascular side effects of Salbutamol
• Other Sympathomimetics (pseudoephedrine): Additive effects on heart rate and blood pressure
• Systemic Corticosteroids: High-dose combination may increase hypokalemia risk
