Uses of Salbair I Transhaler

Salbair I Transhaler is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The detailed uses of Salbair I Transhaler are as follows:

  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Salbair I Transhaler is used in the management of COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, to relieve breathing difficulty caused by airway narrowing.
  • Bronchospasm Relief: Provides quick and effective relief from bronchospasm (tightening of the muscles around the airways), helping reduce wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
  • Add-on Therapy for Inadequate Response to Single Bronchodilator: Indicated for patients already using a regular bronchodilator but still experiencing symptoms, requiring a second bronchodilator for better control.
  • Improves Airflow in the Lungs: Helps to open up the airways, improving lung function and enhancing oxygen intake.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
  • Hold the inhaler with the mouthpiece facing downwards. Form a tight seal by placing your lips around the mouthpiece. Start breathing slowly with your mouth and push down the inhaler once. Remove the inhaler and breathe normally.

  • It provides quick relief from wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing caused by constricted airways.

  • Salbair I Transhaler contains Levosalbutamol (a beta-2 agonist) and Ipratropium Bromide (an anticholinergic), offering faster and more sustained bronchodilation than either drug alone.
  • It enhances oxygen intake and reduces airway resistance, improving overall respiratory performance.
  • Salbair I Transhaler helps reduce airway sensitivity to allergens, cold air, or exercise, preventing sudden respiratory distress.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat foods rich in potassium, such as tomatoes, bananas, asparagus, oranges, potatoes, avocados, dark leafy greens, and beetroots, as potassium is important for lung function and a potassium deficiency may cause breathing problems.
  • Drink plenty of fluids every day to thin mucus, which makes it easier to cough out.
  • Maintain a diet that includes complex carbohydrates such as lentils, beans, barley, oats, quinoa, bran, peas, and potatoes with skin.
  • Limit or avoid the intake of caffeinated drinks such as tea, coffee, soda, and energy drinks.
  • Eat protein-rich foods such as meat, fish (particularly salmon, sardines, and mackerel), eggs, and poultry.
  • Exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system. Learning breathing exercises will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.
  • Quit smoking as it may reduce the effectiveness of the Salbair I Transhaler and irritate the lungs, worsening breathing problems.
