Asthalin-2 Tablets 45’s

Description

Asthalin-2 Tablets are typically used in the treatment and management of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory conditions where bronchodilation (widening of the airways) is needed. The medication contains Salbutamol and may come in different formulations for varying strengths, with Asthalin-2 likely referring to a lower-dose version of Salbutamol.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the Asthalin-2 Tablets (strip of 45 tablets):

Composition of Each Asthalin-2 Tablet:

• Salbutamol Sulphate IP: 2 mg
  • Salbutamol is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, thereby improving airflow and reducing symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
  • It is commonly used to treat asthma, chronic bronchitis, and other respiratory conditions that involve constricted airways.

Presentation:

• Package Size: 45 tablets in a strip.
• Form: Oral tablets, meant for swallowing with water.

Usage:

• Dosage: The dosage of Asthalin-2 tablets depends on the patient’s age, condition, and response to treatment. Typically:
  • Adults and children over 12 years: The usual dose is 1 tablet (2 mg Salbutamol) 2 to 3 times a day, or as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
  • Children: The dose for children is typically lower and adjusted based on age and weight. A doctor will prescribe the appropriate dosage for children.

  Important: Always follow the prescribed dosage, as overuse of Salbutamol can lead to side effects such as jitteriness, palpitations, and increased heart rate.

• Administration: The tablet should be taken orally, swallowed whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, as directed by your doctor.

Precautions:

• Overuse: Using Asthalin-2 tablets excessively may lead to side effects such as increased heart rate (palpitations), nervousness, headache, or tremors.
• Side Effects: Common side effects may include:
  • Tremors
  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Palpitations (increased heart rate)

  If these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

• Contraindications: Asthalin-2 tablets should be used with caution in individuals with:
  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Hyperthyroidism
  • Diabetes
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Consult your healthcare provider before using this medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Drug Interactions: Asthalin-2 may interact with certain medications, including:
  • Other bronchodilators
  • Beta-blockers
  • Diuretics (water pills)
  • Antidepressants (like monoamine oxidase inhibitors)

  Always inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.

Storage:

• Temperature: Store the tablets at room temperature (15°C to 25°C), in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, direct heat, and sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

Key Notes:

• Asthalin-2 is primarily used for long-term management of asthma and other chronic respiratory conditions, providing bronchodilation to help improve breathing.
• This formulation is typically not for immediate relief during acute attacks of bronchospasm (sudden difficulty breathing), for which a fast-acting inhaler may be needed.

Always take Asthalin-2 tablets as prescribed, and if you experience any unusual or severe side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Asthalin-2 is an effective treatment for managing chronic airway conditions by helping to keep airways open and reducing symptoms.
