Are you Looking to Buy Ventolin (Salbutamol) from PrescriptionPoint.

What is Ventolin used for? 

Ventolin is used to prevent and treat wheezing, shortness of breath caused by breathing difficulties, or asthma caused by exercise. It is a quick-relief medication; it belongs to the class of drugs called bronchodilators. This medication works by relaxing the muscles near the airways, so you breathe more freely. 

How to take Ventolin 

You first need to shake the canister before using Ventolin. Follow instructions on the test sprays in the air if you are using it for the first time or have not used it for more than two weeks. If the inhaler lets out a fine mist, this is a sign that it is working correctly. Do not spray Ventolin in your eyes.  

Inhale Ventolin orally as instructed by your doctor, typically every four to six hours as you need it. Doctors recommend using a spacer device with it. If you are prescribed two inhales, inhale 1 minute apart.  

Dosage 

Ventolin dosage will be based on your existing medical conditions and your response to treatment. Always follow what your doctor tells you, and make sure only to take as much as prescribed by your doctor to avoid unwanted side effects. Talk to your doctor for more details about taking this drug. 

Ventolin Side Effects 

You may experience shaking, tremors, nervousness, mouth, throat dryness, headaches, irritation in your mouth or throat, changes in taste, nausea, dizziness, and cough. If you experience any of these symptoms or if they worsen, inform your doctor right away.
