Salbutamol
SALMOLIN is indicated in asthma, chronic bronchitis, chest pain and bronchospasm. It is also indicated in management of premature labour.
Salbutamol is a synthetic sympathomimetic drug having a high affinity for beta-2 adrenergic receptors. Salbutamol causes bronchodilation by stimulating beta-2-adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscles, causing bronchial muscle fibers to relax. Spirometric measures show an improvement in pulmonary function as a result of this activity.
Over 12 years : ½-1 tablet (2-4 mg) or 1-2 teaspoonful 3 to 4 times daily.
Maximum single dose is 8 mg.
6 to 12 years : ½ tablet (2 mg) or 1 teaspoonful 3 to 4 times daily.
2 to 6 years : 1-2 mg or ½-1 teaspoonful 3 to 4 times daily.
OR AS DIRECTED BY THE PHYSICIAN.
The concomitant use of Salbutamol and other oral sympathomimetic agents are not recommended since such combined use may lead to deleterious cardiovascular effects. Patients being treated with monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants should use Salbutamol with caution since the action of Salbutamol on the vascular system may be potentiated. Salbutamol should not be used with b-receptor blocking agents since they inhibit the effect of each other.
Since Salbutamol may lower serum potassium, care should be taken in patients also using other drugs which lower serum potassium as the effects may be additive.
Salbutamol should not be used together with β-blocking drugs. It is also contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Salbutamol.
Fine tremor of skeletal muscle occurs in some patients. This effect is dose related. Sometimes stimulation may be exposed to the action of salbutamol on skeletal muscle which is not due to direct CNS stimulation. Care should be taken with patients suffering from hypertension, myocardial insufficiency, and if no compelling reasons exists it should be avoided.
Only if the possible benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus should the medication be taken during pregnancy. It is unknown if this medication is excreted in human milk. Because of the possibility for tumorigenecity seen in certain animal studies for Salbutamol, a choice should be taken whether to cease breastfeeding or the medicine, taking into consideration the value of the drug to the mother.
Unnecessary administration of the drug during the first trimester of pregnancy should be avoided. Caution is advised in patients suffering from thyrotoxicosis.
