Asthalin 4mg – Strip of 45 Tablets

Asthalin 4 mg Tablets are typically used for the treatment and management of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other conditions involving bronchospasm. Here’s the detailed information regarding the strip of 45 tablets:

Composition of Each Asthalin 4 mg Tablet:

• Salbutamol Sulphate IP: Each tablet contains 4 mg of Salbutamol Sulphate, which is equivalent to 4 mg of Salbutamol.
  • Salbutamol is a bronchodilator, working by relaxing the muscles in the airways, thus making breathing easier and providing relief from symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing. It helps in treating and preventing bronchospasm (narrowing of the airways).

Presentation:

• Package Size: Each strip contains 45 tablets of 4 mg each.
• Form: Oral tablets that should be taken as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Usage:

• Dosage: The dosage depends on the severity of the condition, the patient’s age, and individual medical needs. Typically:
  • Adults and children over 12 years: The usual dose is 2 to 4 mg (1 to 2 tablets), 3 to 4 times daily.
  • Children (under 12 years): The dose is usually lower, and the frequency should be adjusted based on a doctor’s prescription.

  Important: The exact dosage should always be determined by a healthcare professional.

• Administration: The tablet is taken orally, with or without food. It is swallowed whole with a glass of water.

Precautions:

• Overuse: Overuse of Salbutamol may lead to side effects such as increased heart rate, tremors, headaches, and anxiety. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage.
• Side Effects: Common side effects include:
  • Tremors
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Palpitations (increased heart rate)
  • Nausea or vomiting

  If any of these side effects persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.

• Contraindications: Asthalin 4 mg tablets should be used cautiously in individuals with:
  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Hyperthyroidism
  • Diabetes
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before use.

Storage:

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

Key Notes:

• Asthalin 4 mg tablets are typically part of maintenance therapy for conditions like asthma and COPD. It is important not to use this medication for immediate relief of acute symptoms. For sudden onset of asthma or bronchospasm, a fast-acting inhaler may be necessary.
• Do not crush or chew the tablets. Swallow them whole.

Always follow the guidance of your healthcare provider to ensure the appropriate use of Asthalin 4 mg tablets and to adjust the dosage based on your health needs.
