Pharmacology
Salbutamol is a selective agonist of the 2-adrenoceptor. It works on the 2-adrenoceptors of bronchial smooth muscle at therapeutic levels but has little or no effect on the 1-adrenoceptors of cardiac muscle. In reversible airway blockage, salbutamol produces short-acting (4-6 hours) bronchodilation with a rapid onset (within 5 minutes). It also inhibits the release of bronchoconstrictor mediators such as histamine, neutrophil chemotactic factor (NCF), and prostaglandin D2 via acting as an anti-inflammatory on mast cells.
Dosage & Administration
Adults: 2-4 mg tablet, 3-4 times daily. The maximum single dose is 8 mg tablet.
Interaction
Salbutamol and non-selective beta-blockers like propranolol should not be prescribed simultaneously in most cases. 2-agonist treatment has the potential to cause significant hypokalemia. Concomitant treatment with xanthine derivatives, steroids, diuretics, and hypoxia may intensify this impact, therefore use caution if you have acute severe asthma. In such cases, it is advised that serum potassium levels be monitored.
Contraindications
Patients having a history of hypersensitivity to salbutamol or any other component of a Salbutamol inhaler should avoid using it.
Side Effects
Salbutamol is easily tolerated by most people. During inhalation, just a few adverse effects have been recorded. Tremors, anxiety, muscle cramps, headache, palpitation, a compensatory slight rise in heart rate, cardiac arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, and extrasystoles), and tachycardia are all possible symptoms. Salbutamol inhalation can cause mouth and throat discomfort.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy Classification C. In pregnant women, there are no sufficient and well-controlled studies using salbutamol inhalers or salbutamol sulfate. During pregnancy, this inhaler should only be used if the possible benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. The components of the Salbutamol inhaler are not known to be excreted in human milk. When administering this inhaler to a nursing mother, exercise caution.
Precautions & Warnings
Paradoxical Bronchospasm: Inhaled salbutamol sulfate can cause life-threatening paradoxical bronchospasm. If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs, the Salbutamol inhaler should be stopped right away and another treatment plan implemented. When it comes to inhaled formulations, it's important to remember that paradoxical bronchospasm frequently develops after the first use of a new canister.
Storage Conditions
