Asthma Inhaler

Asthma is a respiratory problem leading to difficult breathing. The airways in the lungs become inflamed, narrow, or produce excess mucus and cause problems.  The common symptoms of asthma include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Cold, air pollen, dust mites, and pet dander are the environmental triggers. However, the standard breathing exercises are not enough to manage strong asthma attacks. So, for fast relief asthma inhalers work well. Within minutes, the air pathways are restored and normal breathing becomes effortless.

Ventolin and Salamol Inhalers

Ventolin Evohaler and Salamol CFC-Free Inhaler are the two fast acting relievers during shortening of breath. They both contain salbutamol sulfate (100 micrograms per puff) as an active ingredient. They offer the same speed, strength and clinical effectiveness. Let’s have a close look at them. 

• Ventolin is one of the world’s most popular asthma reliever brands, made by GlaxoSmithKline. It has a strong, blue casing and provides a consistent, uniform dose of salbutamol that provides immediate relief from sudden wheezing, chest tightness and coughing in 2 to 5 minutes.
• Salamol CFC-Free Inhaler is a brand made by Teva Pharmaceuticals and contains the same strength of salbutamol as Ventolin 100mcg.

How to Use Asthma Inhalers?

Correct inhaler technique is necessary to ensure that you get the full therapeutic dose from your salbutamol inhaler. If not done properly, the medication may spray onto the tongue or back of the throat instead of getting into the lungs.

• Take off the mouthpiece cover and shake the inhaler thoroughly for a few seconds to mix the inhaler.
• Slowly and completely blow out away from the device, emptying the lungs.
• Make an air tight seal with the mouthpiece between your lips.
• Slowly, deeply breathe out through the mouth while firming your finger on top of the canister to release one puff.
• Remove inhaler from mouth and hold breath for up to 10 seconds (or as long as comfortable) so the medicine will reach the deeper parts of your lungs before you slowly breathe it out.

If another puff is needed, wait 30-60 seconds before repeating the process. However, if you find yourself needing to use your asthma inhaler UK more than 2-3 times per week, it may indicate that you need to make changes to your asthma management plan.

FAQs

What is the difference between a reliever (blue) and a preventer (brown/red) inhaler?
