Description:
ASCOAIR 100 mcg Inhaler contains Salbutamol (also known as Albuterol), a fast-acting bronchodilator used for the relief and prevention of bronchospasm in conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. It works quickly to relax the muscles in the airways, allowing for rapid improvement in breathing during episodes of wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Immediate relief of acute asthma symptoms
Treatment and prevention of bronchospasm in COPD, asthma, and other obstructive airway diseases
Prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction
Mechanism of Action:
Salbutamol/Albuterol is a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (SABA) that stimulates beta-2 receptors in the bronchial smooth muscle, resulting in rapid bronchodilation and improved airflow.
Dosage Form:
Metered-Dose Inhaler (MDI)
Strength:
100 mcg per actuation
Prescription Status:
Prescription-only medication
Note:
ASCOAIR 100 mcg Inhaler is a rescue inhaler designed for quick symptom relief. It is not intended for long-term control of asthma or COPD. Patients should follow proper inhalation technique and use under medical supervision. Overuse should be avoided to prevent side effects or reduced efficacy.
