Description
Ventolin is an inhaled medicine used to prevent obstructed airways in patients with asthma or provide relief during exercise-induced asthma. It acts as a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. Ventolin can also be used to treat emphysema or chronic bronchitis. Ventolin takes effect within 15 minutes and can last for up to 6 hours.
Directions
Always follow your doctor’s instructions and use Ventolin exactly as prescribed.
- Dosage will differ between patients, depending on medical history and current condition.
- Don’t stop using Ventolin without your doctor’s permission, as this can worsen breathing problems.
- Ventolin doesn’t work immediately, and shouldn’t be used for sudden attacks.

FAQs
