Adults and children over 12 years of age: 100-200 micrograms of salbutamol (1-2 inhalations) for arresting attacks of suffocation.
In the absence of effect after 5 minutes, repeated inhalation is possible. The subsequent inhalation can be carried out not earlier, than in 2 hours.
To monitor the course of mild asthma - 1-2 dose 1-4 times a day and an average disease severity - at the same dosage in combination with other antiasthmatic agents.
For the prevention of asthma physical effort - for 20-30 minutes before the load 1-2 doses per reception.
Children from 2 to 12 years: with the development of an attack of bronchial asthma, as well as to prevent attacks of bronchial asthma associated with exposure to an allergen or caused by physical exertion, the recommended dose is 100-200 μg (1-2 inhalations).
The daily dose of salbutamol should not exceed 1200 mcg (12 inhalations).
When using a metered aerosol, the following instructions must be strictly followed:
1. Shake the balloon thoroughly before use.
2. Put the nebulizer on the cylinder, remove the cover from the sprayer.
3. Make a deep exhalation.
4. Turn the balloon upside down, grasp the mouthpiece with your lips, draw a strong breath and simultaneously press the bottom of the cylinder. In this case, a strong aerosol release occurs.Hold your breath for a few seconds and, taking the mouthpiece from your mouth, make a slow exhalation.
5. After use, cover the mouthpiece with a lid to protect it from contamination.
Patients (including young children) who find it difficult to perform the right breathing exercise are advised to use a special device (spacer) for inhaling the drug that increases the respiratory volume and smooths the inaccuracies of the asynchronous inspiration.
