Description

Asthalin Rotacaps – Bottle of 60 Capsules

Asthalin Rotacaps are used for inhalation therapy to manage bronchospasm, typically associated with conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The details for the 60-capsule bottle of Asthalin Rotacaps are as follows:

Composition of Each Rotacaps:

• Salbutamol Sulphate IP: Each capsule contains 200 mcg of Salbutamol Sulphate, which is equivalent to 200 mcg of Salbutamol.
  • Salbutamol is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing the muscles in the airways of the lungs, leading to easier airflow and reduced symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
  • It is typically used for rescue therapy or as a preventive treatment for bronchospasm.
• Excipients: These are substances included in the capsule to help in formulation and delivery. They are not active ingredients but ensure the stability and effective inhalation of the medication. The excipients are present in a sufficient quantity (q.s.) to prepare the capsule for use.

Presentation:

• The bottle contains 60 Rotacaps.
• Each Rotacap is intended for use with a Rotahaler, a device that converts the powder in the capsule into a fine aerosol for inhalation.

Usage:

• Administration: The capsule is placed inside the Rotahaler device. The device punctures the capsule, releasing the Salbutamol powder, which is then inhaled deeply through the mouth. This allows for rapid delivery of the medication directly to the lungs.
• Dosage: The typical dose is one Rotacap (200 mcg) to be inhaled, but the exact dosage and frequency should be determined by your healthcare provider. It is commonly used 2-4 times daily depending on the severity of symptoms.

Precautions:

• Overuse: Overuse or incorrect use of Asthalin Rotacaps may lead to side effects, such as shaking (tremors), increased heart rate, and nervousness.
• Side Effects: Some common side effects include headache, dizziness, muscle cramps, and dry mouth. If these persist or become bothersome, consult a doctor.
• Contraindications: Asthalin Rotacaps should be used with caution in patients with a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or hyperthyroidism. Always consult your doctor before using this medication if you have any other health conditions.

Storage:

• Temperature: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat or sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of children: Make sure the medication is stored safely, away from children.

Key Notes:

• Asthalin Rotacaps are not suitable for oral use and should only be inhaled using a Rotahaler device.
• This medication is part of preventive therapy and is not intended for emergency relief. Always have a fast-acting inhaler or other prescribed emergency treatment available if necessary.

Consult your healthcare provider before using Asthalin Rotacaps, especially if you are new to inhalation therapies.
