Uses of Asthalin 100 mcg Inhaler :
Asthalin Inhaler (Generic Albuterol Sulfate Inhaler) is a beta2-adrenergic
agonist which is used in patients 4 years of age and older for the
symptomatic relief and prevention of bronchospasm due to bronchial
asthma, chronic bronchitis and other chronic bronchopulmonary
disorders in which bronchospasm is a complicating factor.
Asthalin Inhaler is also used in patients 4 years of age and older for the
prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm.
Albuterol (Salbutamol) belongs to the family of medicines known as
adrenergic bronchodilators. Adrenergic bronchodilators are medicines
that are breathed in through the mouth to open up the bronchial tubes
(air passages) in the lungs. They relieve cough, wheezing, and trouble
breathing by increasing the flow of air through the bronchial tubes.

Warnings
Cardiovascular effects may occur. Use with caution in patients sensitive
to sympathomimetic drugs and patients with cardiovascular or
convulsive disorders. Albuterol, like all other beta2-adrenergic
agonists, can produce clinically significant cardiovascular effects in
some patients as measured by pulse rate, blood pressure, and/or
symptoms. Although such effects are uncommon after administration
of Albuterol Sulphate (Salbutamol Sulphate) at recommended doses, if
they occur, the medicine may need to be discontinued.
The use of beta-adrenergic agonist bronchodilators alone may not be
adequate to control asthma in many patients. Early consideration
should be given to adding anti-inflammatory agents, e.g.,
corticosteroids, to the therapeutic regimen.

Warnings
Immediate hypersensitivity reactions may occur after administration of
Albuterol Sulphate (Salbutamol Sulphate) inhalation aerosol, as
demonstrated by cases of urticaria, angio-oedema, rash,
bronchospasm, hypotension, and anaphylaxis. Discontinue Asthalin
Inhaler immediately in case hypersensitivity reactions occur.
Albuterol, like other sympathomimetic amines, should be used with
caution in patients with convulsive disorders, hyperthyroidism, or
diabetes mellitus and in patients who are unusually responsive to
sympathomimetic amines. Albuterol should be administered cautiously
to patients with thyrotoxicosis. Large doses of intravenous Albuterol
have been reported to aggravate preexisting diabetes mellitus and
ketoacidosis. Hypokalemia and changes in blood glucose may occur.

© The Swiss Pharmacy
Warnings
Other short-acting sympathomimetic aerosol bronchodilators should
not be used concomitantly with Asthalin Inhaler (Generic Albuterol
Sulfate Inhaler) . If additional adrenergic drugs are to be administered
by any route, they should be used with caution to avoid deleterious
cardiovascular effects.
Beta-blockers not only block the pulmonary effect of beta-agonists,
such as Asthalin Inhaler, but may also produce severe bronchospasm
in patients with asthma. Therefore, patients with asthma should not
normally be treated with beta-blockers.

ear, nose and throat irritation, lower respiratory, upper respiratory inflammation,
viral respiratory infections, cough and musculoskeletal pain.
Side effects reported by less than 3% of the adolescents and adult patients

Albuterol HFA than HFA-134a placebo inhaler and that have the potential to be
related to Albuterol HFA include diarrhea, laryngitis, oropharyngeal edema,
cough, lung disorders, tachycardia, extrasystoles, palpitation and dizziness.

Asthalin Inhaler Overdosage
The expected signs and symptoms with overdosage of Albuterol
(Generic Albuterol Sulfate Inhaler) are those of excessive beta-
adrenergic stimulation and/or occurrence or exaggeration of any of
the signs and symptoms of beta-adrenergic stimulation ( e.g., seizures,
angina, hypertension or hypotension, tachycardia with rates up to 200
beats/min, arrhythmias, nervousness, headache, tremor, muscle
cramps, dry mouth, palpitation, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, malaise,
insomnia, hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, metabolic acidosis). As with all
inhaled sympathomimetic medicines, cardiac arrest and even death
may be associated with an overdose of Asthalin Inhaler.

Treatment of Asthalin Inhaler Overdosage
Treatment consists of discontinuation of Asthalin Inhaler together with
appropriate symptomatic therapy.
The judicious use of a cardioselective beta-receptor blocker may be
considered, bearing in mind that such medication can produce
bronchospasm.
There is insufficient evidence to determine if dialysis is beneficial for
overdosage of Asthalin Inhaler (Generic Albuterol Sulfate Inhaler) .

Asthalin Inhaler During Pregnancy
Albuterol Sulfate Inhaler (Asthalin Inhaler) has been classified by the US
FDA as Pregnancy Category C.
Administration of Asthalin Inhaler during pregnancy should only be
considered if the expected benefit to the mother is greater than any
possible risk to the foetus. As with the majority of drugs, there is little
published evidence of the safety of Albuterol in the early stages of human
pregnancy, but in animal studies there was evidence of some harmful
effects on the fetus at very high dose levels.
There are no well-controlled human trials that have investigated effects of
Albuterol (Salbutamol) on preterm labor or labor at term.
Because of the potential for beta-agonist interference with uterine
contractility, use of Albuterol Inhaler during labor should be restricted to
those patients in whom the benefits clearly outweigh the risk.
