What is Ventolin

SalbutamolThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummarySalbutamol is a medication used to treat asthma and COPD. It works by activating beta2 receptors in the lungs, which helps to relax the airways and make breathing easier. Salbutamol is a combination of two types of molecules, R- and S-isomers. The R-isomer is more effective and has fewer side effects, but it is much more expensive than the S-isomer. Salbutamol is used to treat acute episodes of bronchospasm, as well as for prevention of exercise-induced asthma.

Effectiveness

How Ventolin Affects PatientsSalbutamol, also known as albuterol, is a medication used to treat asthma and other respiratory conditions. It works by stimulating the beta-1 and beta-2 receptors in the body, which can lead to increased blood flow, muscle relaxation and lower blood pressure. It can also cause changes in insulin and blood sugar levels, and may reduce potassium levels in the blood. Salbutamol is similar to terbutaline but the R-enantiomer form (levalbuterol) may cause fewer side effects.
How Ventolin works in the bodySalbutamol works by targeting beta2-adrenergic receptors, which are found in the respiratory system and heart. Activating these receptors causes the muscles in the airways to relax, allowing air to flow more easily. This also helps to reduce the release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells. Salbutamol is more effective at relaxing the respiratory system than isoproterenol, but can also cause some cardiovascular effects. The effects of salbutamol usually start within 5-15 minutes and last for 3-6 hours.

Ventolin Toxicity & Overdose RiskTaking too much albuterol can cause extreme overstimulation of the body which can result in seizures, chest pain, high or low blood pressure, fast heartbeat, shaking, headache, dry mouth, trouble sleeping, low potassium levels, high blood sugar, and metabolic acidosis. It is not known if albuterol passes into breast milk, but pregnant women should not take albuterol as it can cause birth defects. Albuterol has not been tested in children under 4 years old and elderly people should be given a lower dose. The highest dose of albuterol that does not cause death in mice is

Ventolin Reviews: What are patients saying about Ventolin?

Ventolin for Asthma
Ventolin was really helpful for my emphysema and I didn't have any side effects from it. Unfortunately, my insurance wouldn't cover the cost so my pulmonologist prescribed Pro Air instead. I hate it! The container and mouth piece are both too short.

Ventolin for Asthma
While this treatment effectively controls bronchospasm, I found the side effects to be very pronounced and uncomfortable. I would not recommend using this long-term because of these issues.

Ventolin for Emphysema
I experienced some major side effects, which were honestly quite scary. In particular, the chest pains and breathing problems were really concerning.

Ventolin for Asthma Attack
I need to know if the delivery vehicle "oilec acid" is peanut oil? I am alergic to peanuts and found that Combivent contains "oilec acid" which turned out to be actually a cryptic name for PEANUT OIL.

Ventolin for Bronchitis
This medication has been incredibly effective in managing my asthma. I'm an active person, and it's really made a world of difference for me being able to participate in the activities I love without worrying about having an attack.

Ventolin for Asthma Attack
In my experience, the counter is inaccurate. After comparing empty and full canisters, I estimate that I get approximately 36 puffs after the counter on my current inhaler reads 000. This is a waste of money for everyone who pays for it!

Ventolin for Asthma
This medication does what it's supposed to do, eventually. It's hard to inhale and hold in when coughing though, which then just exacerbates the problem. Additionally, I have pretty shakey hands normally and this made them even worse.

This medication makes it easier for me to breathe, which is great.

Ventolin for Asthma
The inhaler worked well when I needed it, but the dosage counter was inaccurate. The medication ran out before the counter said it would, which resulted in a nasty attack at night. Don't rely on the dose counter-- get your prescription refilled long before you run out of doses.

Ventolin for Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm Prevention
Ventolin was effective, but I started having vision problems very soon after taking it. My macular degeneration has gotten MUCH worse since starting this medication, and I'm not sure if the two are related.

Patient Q&A Section about ventolin

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Can Ventolin damage your lungs?

"If you use an inhaler all the time, your lungs might become less responsive to the medication. In addition, your airways might become more sensitive to triggers that cause asthma."

Answered by AI

What is a Ventolin used for?

"VENTOLIN HFA is a prescription medicine used to treat or prevent bronchospasm in people aged 4 years and older with reversible obstructive airway disease. VENTOLIN HFA is also used to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) in patients aged 4 years and older."

Answered by AI

Is Ventolin is a steroid?

"Ventolin does not contain steroids, but rather the active ingredient albuterol. Albuterol is a sympathomimetic (beta agonist) bronchodilator that relaxes the smooth muscle in the airways, allowing air to flow in and out of the lungs more easily."

Answered by AI

Can Ventolin be used for cough?

"The drug Ventolin is used to treat breathing problems such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath that are associated with conditions like bronchitis and asthma."
