SALBUTAMOL FLUTICASONE

SALBUTAMOL FLUTICASONE: Salbutamol Fluticasone is a combination drug used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains two active ingredients: salbutamol, a bronchodilator, and fluticasone, a corticosteroid.

Salbutamol works by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the lungs, causing the smooth muscles around the airways to relax. This action results in the dilation of the airways, helping to ease breathing and reduce wheezing or shortness of breath. Fluticasone, on the other hand, is an anti-inflammatory drug that reduces swelling and irritation in the airways, reducing the frequency and severity of asthma or COPD symptoms.

The drug is typically administered using an inhaler or a nebulizer. The recommended dose may vary depending on the individual’s age, severity of the condition, and their response to treatment. Generally, the usual dose for adults and children aged 12 years and above is two inhalations, twice daily.

Common side effects of Salbutamol Fluticasone may include headache, dizziness, tremors, throat irritation, hoarseness, cough, and dry mouth. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any severe or persistent side effects occur, such as chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or difficulty breathing, medical attention should be sought immediately.

It is important to note that Salbutamol Fluticasone is a prescription medication, and its use should be strictly as directed by a healthcare professional. They will decide if this combination drug is suitable for an individual based on their specific condition and medical history.
