Description of Ventolin Accuhaler
Ventolin Accuhaler for Asthma & Breathing Problems
Asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are breathing conditions that primarily affect the lungs and can cause a range of breathing difficulties. Asthma often occurs after exposure to a trigger, however, it can happen randomly. Triggers may include common allergies to pollen or animal dander, infections, environmental changes or from exercise.
The Ventolin Accuhaler is a breath-activated dry-powered device (DPI) used to control asthma symptoms like sneezing, coughing, difficulty breathing and tightness in the chest. It contains salbutamol, the active ingredient. This device can act as an immediate reliever for asthma patients.
What is a Ventolin Accuhaler and how does it work?
The Ventolin Accuhaler will relax the bronchi in the lungs helping with chest tightness. The active ingredient salbutamol is a bronchodilator which relieves symptoms by relaxing the bronchi in the lungs that affect chest tightness.
An accuhaler is a breath-activated device that releases a dose of medication when you inhale from the mouthpiece. This device requires you to breathe deeply for it to release the medication. As such, it may not be suitable for all breathing conditions.
