Ventolin is a medication that is used to treat and prevent bronchospasm caused due to various conditions.
How does it work
Ventolin relaxes the muscles in the airways and also increases the airflow into the lungs.
Taking Ventolin & the right dosage
Ventolin may be taken with or without a meal.
You may have to prime the inhaler device for the first time, by spraying 4 sprays into the air. You should shake the container well before priming. If you have not used the inhaler for 2 weeks or longer, or if you have dropped the inhaler, then prime it again.
To use the Ventolin inhaler:
Shake the canister well.
Breathe out fully and then uncap it. Put the mouthpiece in your mouth, press down on the inhaler and breathe in. Now hold your breath for 10 seconds.
If you are taking multiple inhalations, wait at least 1 second between each inhalation.
Storage
Store Ventolin in a cool and dark place at room temperature. Do not store it in a place where it can get exposed to direct sunlight or moisture.
