Inspirol Inhaler

Inspirol Inhaler contains Albuterol, also known as salbutamol, which is a bronchodilator used to treat and prevent bronchospasm in patients with reversible obstructive airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Albuterol works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and increasing airflow to the lungs.

FAQs:

1. How do I use Inspirol Inhaler correctly? Shake the inhaler well before each use. Exhale fully, place the mouthpiece in your mouth, and press down on the inhaler to release the medication while taking a deep breath in. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds before exhaling slowly. If prescribed more than one puff, wait about 30 seconds between puffs. Rinse your mouth with water after use to prevent dry mouth and throat irritation.
2. How often can I use Inspirol Inhaler? Use Inspirol Inhaler as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is typically used every 4 to 6 hours as needed for relief of bronchospasm. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. For preventing exercise-induced bronchospasm, use the inhaler 15 to 30 minutes before exercise.
3. What should I do if I miss a dose? Since Inspirol Inhaler is used on an as-needed basis, you may not be on a fixed dosing schedule. Use the inhaler as soon as you remember if you miss a dose for regular maintenance. If it’s almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not use extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.
4. Can I use Inspirol Inhaler along with other asthma medications? Yes, Inspirol Inhaler can be used with other asthma medications, such as inhaled corticosteroids or long-acting bronchodilators. However, it’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and avoid using multiple short-acting bronchodilators simultaneously without medical advice.
5. Are there any long-term effects of using Inspirol Inhaler? Long-term use of Albuterol is generally considered safe when used as prescribed. However, overuse or misuse can lead to decreased effectiveness and an increased risk of side effects, such as heart problems and paradoxical bronchospasm. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as necessary.
