BUTAMIN (Salbutamol B.P.) Syrup 60 ml

Benefits & Features:BUTAMIN Syrup (Salbutamol) is a fast-acting bronchodilator used for the relief and prevention of bronchospasm associated with respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD.

• Quickly opens constricted airways for easy breathing
• Effective in treating acute asthma attacks and wheezing
• Prevents exercise-induced bronchospasm

Requires Prescription:Yes (Generally required due to bronchodilator nature)

Generics:Yes (Salbutamol/Albuterol)

Used For:Relief of symptoms of asthma and other conditions where bronchospasm is a complicating factor.

How it Works:Salbutamol selectively stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the smooth muscle of the bronchial tubes, causing rapid bronchodilation.

Usage & Safety Dosage:Typically 2-4 mg (1-2 teaspoons) three to four times daily, as prescribed. Dose adjusted by the physician.

Side Effects:Fine tremor of the hands, headache, rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), and palpitations.

Drug Interactions:Risk of adverse effects increases with other sympathomimetic agents. Reduced effectiveness with non-selective beta-blockers.

When Not to Use:Known hypersensitivity to Salbutamol or patients with pre-existing heart conditions (unless advised by a specialist).

Precautions:Monitor for low potassium levels (hypokalaemia). Use carefully in patients with diabetes or hypertension.

Warnings:Only use as a 'rescue' medication as directed. Increased use may indicate worsening asthma control. Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms are not relieved.

Additional Information:Store in a cool, dark place. Keep out of reach of children.
