Salnon Inhaler 100/50Mcg

Salnon Inhaler 100/50mcg is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: Beclomethasone & Salbutamol. It is used for the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to relieve symptoms and improve lung function.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits:

• Beclomethasone: Beclomethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the airways, thereby decreasing swelling and irritation. It helps prevent asthma attacks and COPD exacerbations by reducing airway inflammation.
• Salbutamol: Salbutamol is a short-acting beta agonist (SABA) that works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. It provides rapid relief of asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

Uses:

Salnon Inhaler 100/50mcg is indicated for:

• Maintenance treatment of asthma in patients who require combination therapy with both an inhaled corticosteroid and a short-acting beta agonist.

Dosage and Administration:

• The recommended dose is usually two inhalations twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart, for maintenance therapy.
• For acute relief of bronchospasm, one or two inhalations may be used as needed.
• Rinse your mouth with water after each use to prevent thrush (oral yeast infection).
• Follow the instructions provided with the inhaler for proper use and cleaning.
