💊 What Is Salbutamol (Ventolin)?
Salbutamol (brand name Ventolin) is a short-acting bronchodilator used to relieve asthma symptoms quickly. It works by:
-
Relaxing the muscles in your airways
-
Opening up the lungs to allow easier breathing
-
Providing relief within minutes of inhalation
It is commonly referred to as the “blue inhaler” and is used as a rescue or reliever inhaler.
✅ When to Use Salbutamol
Use your salbutamol inhaler when:
-
You feel breathless or wheezy
-
Coughing or chest tightness starts
-
Before exercise (if advised)
-
As prescribed for sudden flare-ups
🔁 How Often Can I Use It?
-
Usual dose: 1–2 puffs as needed
-
Do not exceed 8 puffs in 24 hours without medical advice
-
If you are using it more than 3 times a week, you may need a review of your asthma plan
If symptoms persist or worsen, speak to your GP or asthma nurse for a review.
