Description
Airomir Inhaler 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 Airomir inhaler can be used if you have asthma or any inflammatory condition of the lungs involving breathing difficulty. This is a prescription inhaler that contains a short-acting drug designed to give quick relief, starting as early as 5 minutes and lasting as long as 6 hours.
What is an Airomir Inhaler and how does it work?
The active ingredient, salbutamol, opens up the airways which reduces the symptoms of chest tightness, wheezing and coughing while easing breathing. Salbutamol is a medication called a short-acting beta-2-agonist that will relax the muscles in the airways causing them to expand.
This medicine has a short and quick effect that can last between 4 to 6 hours.
This is a reliever inhaler suitable for acute asthma attacks. A reliever inhaler should be kept with you all the time to be used whenever needed. It is also very effective if you are allergic to pollens, dust, animals etc. You can use it 10-15 minutes before expected exposure to these allergens.
