Salbovent 2mg/5ml Syrup 120ml

Salbovent 2 mg/5 ml Syrup 120 ml

Description:
A prescription bronchodilator syrup containing salbutamol, a short‑acting β₂‑adrenergic agonist that relaxes smooth muscles in the airways to improve airflow. Used when inhalers are difficult to use or oral administration is preferred.

Indications:
• Relief of bronchospasm in asthma
• Symptomatic improvement in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema
• Management of wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness due to reversible airway obstruction
• Suitable for patients who cannot use inhalers effectively, as directed by a healthcare professional

Key Component:
Salbutamol — 2 mg per 5 ml of syrup.

Mechanism of Action:
Salbutamol stimulates β₂‑adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, causing muscle relaxation, airway dilation, and improved airflow, which helps relieve symptoms of bronchospasm.
