Product Description

How does Salamol work?

Salamol is typically available in 3 forms, as a CFC-free inhaler, Salamol easi-breathe CFC-free inhaler, and Salamol steri-nebs. All of the 3 available forms contain Salbutamol. Salbutamol helps to relieve the lung muscles and allows the airways in the lung to widen and let more air through, making it extremely affective in relieving an asthma attack, shortness of breath, or chest tightness.

The salbutamol is inhaled through the use of an inhaler or nebuliser, so it acts directly in the lungs where it can work faster to open the airways for easier breathing. It works within a few minutes of taking a dose, and the effects last for four to six hours.

 

Benefits of using Salamol:

Salamol is effective in providing near instant relief from the symptoms of an asthma attack. The active ingredient in Salamol effectively causes the muscles in the airways of your lungs relax, allowing for easy breathing.

 

How to use Salamol:

It is important to follow the instructions given to you by your doctor and follow the information on the patient information leaflet when using this medication.

You need to learn how to correctly use your inhaler so you can get the correct amount of medication into your lungs. Instructions will be provided with the inhaler when you receive it. You should never use this product without the inhaler as it will be difficult to get the correct dosage.

When using the inhalers, it is important to shake the cannister well before each spray. You should then remove the cap or mouth piece from the inhaler and breathe out before putting the inhaler near your lips.

The Salamol CFC-free inhaler is a metered dose inhaler which delivers the medicine as a fine mist or spray. Shake the inhaler thoroughly before use, and remove the cap or mouth piece from the inhaler. You need to coordinate pressing down on the canister and breathing in the spray. Breathe out before putting the mouthpiece to your lips. Once the inhaler is in your mouth breathe in slowly while pressing down the cannister. Then you should put your breathing on hold for around 10 seconds and then breathe out slowly. If you find it difficult to press down on the canister, you can use a spacer device to make the process easier.

Do not stop breathing in when you feel the puff in your mouth as it is important you continue to breathe in the medicine.

Salamol steri-nebs are used in a nebuliser, and are usually used in a hospital setting. The nebuliser converts the liquid medicine inside the nebules into particles which can be inhaled. It delivers higher doses of medicine than a standard inhaler.

Salamol is used for relief in asthma attacks, and it is important to follow the instructions given to you by the doctor and on the patient information leaflet.

In this instance, the medication should usually be used around 10 minutes before exposure to an allergen or exercising.

Like any other medicine, Salamol comes with the risk of some side effects, but not everybody will experience them. Some of the side effects that this medication can cause are more common than others, but if you suffer any side effects that cause you concern, you should get in touch with your GP or doctor as soon as possible.

Salamol for pregnant and breastfeeding women:

Asthma needs to be well controlled during pregnancy, as it could pose a threat to the unborn baby. During pregnancy, wherever possible asthma medications should be taken by inhaler to minimise the amount of medicine that enters the bloodstream and crosses into the baby.
