Buy Ventolin Diskus

Ventolin Diskus (Salbutamol Sulfate) is used in acute and long-term management of bronchospasm caused by obstructive lung conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is typically used for fast relief of shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness during acute flares of these conditions. Salbutamol belongs to a class of drugs called short-acting beta-2 agonists (SABAs). Salbutamol works by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the lungs, which causes the airway muscles to relax, allowing the airways to widen and making breathing easier. Its effect is seen within minutes, quickly relieving symptoms lasting around 4-6 hours. Hence, it is used as a "rescue inhaler" in emergencies.

Clinical trials consistently support the safety and efficacy of inhaled salbutamol for rapid symptom relief in asthma and COPD. Studies show it effectively increases lung function and improves breathing, especially for acute exacerbations in children and adults. However, it is best used with an inhaled corticosteroid for optimal long-term use. It is safe to use and well-tolerated by most individuals. However, excessive use can lead to increased side effects, such as palpitations, tremors, and electrolyte imbalance (source).
