Indication

Salbutamol is prescribed as a bronchodilator for use in patients with conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and other conditions associated with airway obstruction.

Pharmacology

Salbutamol is a beta-2 adrenergic sympathomimetic substance that acts as a bronchodilator. It works by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscles, leading to the relaxation of bronchial muscle fibers and improved pulmonary function.

Dosage & Administration of Sultolin Cozyacap 200mcg

Dosage and Administration Salbutamol is available in tablets, syrup, inhalation capsules, respirator solutions, and injection forms, each with its own dosing regimen:

• Children (2-6 years): 2.5 ml syrup, 3-4 times daily
• Children (6-12 years): 5 ml syrup, 3-4 times daily
• Adults and children over 12 years: 5-10 ml syrup or 2-4 mg tablet, 3-4 times daily (maximum single dose is 8 mg tablet).

Salbutamol Respirator Solution and Nebulizer Solution have specific dosage instructions based on age and condition, including intermittent and continuous administration methods.

Salbutamol Inhalation Capsule For adults, one or two inhalation capsules may be administered as a single dose for bronchospasm relief. Maintenance or prophylactic therapy typically involves inhaling the contents of one 200-microgram capsule every 4 to 6 hours. For children (4 years and older), one inhalation capsule is recommended for acute bronchospasm relief, with the option to increase to two capsules if necessary.

Exercise-Induced Asthma For adults, 400 micrograms and for children, 200 micrograms of Salbutamol should be taken 15-30 minutes prior to physical exertion.

Interaction

Salbutamol and non-selective beta-blocking drugs like propranolol should generally not be prescribed together. Caution is advised in acute severe asthma, as hypokalemia may occur. Serum potassium levels should be monitored in such cases.

Contraindications

Salbutamol should not be used in individuals with a history of hypersensitivity to its components or for threatened abortion during the first or second trimester of pregnancy. It should also be used with caution in patients known to have received large doses of other sympathomimetic drugs.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Salbutamol should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. Its excretion in human milk is unknown, so the decision to continue breastfeeding should consider its value to the mother.

Precautions & Warnings

Salbutamol should be used cautiously in individuals with specific medical conditions, including hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and aneurysms. It can lead to hypokalemia, making individuals more susceptible to digitalis-induced cardiac arrhythmias. Tachyphylaxis with resistance may develop after long-term high-dosage use. Extreme caution is necessary when treating those with diabetes mellitus or closed-angle glaucoma, and in individuals using antihypertensive medication.

Storage Conditions

Store Salbutamol below 30°C, away from light and moisture, and out of reach of children.
