Asthavent 100 MCG Inhaler 200 Mdi contains salbutamol (100 mcg), which works on the body as follows:

• Beta-2 receptor activation: Salbutamol selectively binds to beta-2 receptors found in the lungs, triggering a series of chemical reactions that help relax the muscles around your airways.

• Smooth muscle relaxation: By increasing levels of a substance called cyclic AMP in the airway muscles, salbutamol causes these muscles to relax, which widens the airways and makes breathing easier.

• Bronchodilation: The relaxation of airway muscles leads to bronchodilation (opening up of the airways), allowing more air to flow in and out of the lungs and relieving symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath.

• Rapid action: Salbutamol begins working within 5-15 minutes after inhalation, with its effects typically lasting 3-6 hours, providing quick relief from breathing difficulties.

• Store Asthavent 100 MCG Inhaler 200 Mdi in a cool, dry place.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

• Always keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use the inhaler beyond its expiry date.

• Never puncture, break or burn the canister, even when empty.

• Avoid known asthma triggers such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and tobacco smoke to reduce the frequency of bronchospasm (tightening of airway muscles).

• Stay physically active with appropriate exercise like walking or swimming to improve your lung capacity and breathing efficiency.
