VENTOLIN NEBULIZER SOLUTION (PREDILUTED) (ALBUTEROL)
Ventolin Nebulizer Solution Description
Ventolin Nebulizer Solution or generic Albuterol is a prediluted medicine prescribed to treat the symptoms of asthma quickly to restore normal breathing. Children with asthma may benefit from the easy to use nebulizer delivery system and the comfort of a mask to wear while breathing normally until the mist has stopped flowing. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.
Adults experiencing the symptoms of chronic bronchitis or emphysema can also take advantage of Ventolin Nebulizer Solution that starts to work in 5-10 minutes and provides 4-6 hours of relief from wheezing, coughing, and tightness in chest. Of course a longer acting drug may also be advised to carry you through most days and Albuterol will be on hand for sudden bronchospasms.
Ease Constricted Airways Fast
When inhaled as directed, Ventolin Nebulizer Solution will work to relax the muscles that line your airways. Irritation of your lungs causes these bands of muscle to constrict and you become out of breath. As the muscles release their grip, airways widen and easy breathing is restored. Ventolin Nebulizer Solution is not a cure for asthma or chronic bronchitis and emphysema, but this bronchodilator can reduce your symptoms and allow you to carry on with your work or play.
Conditions Treated by Ventolin Nebulizer Solution
Not a lot is known about what causes asthma, but it is known to run in families and is more common in those with allergies. Antibodies in your blood are triggered by allergic reactions and results in the inflammation in your airways that affect your ability to breathe normally.
Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are grouped together to become chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, better known as COPD. They are mainly caused by long-term smoking or inhaling fumes and other pollutants over the years. There is no cure for COPD or asthma, but Ventolin Nebulizer Solution can help to improve your symptoms so you are able to continue with your day.
Before Ventolin Nebulizer Solution is Prescribed
Ask your doctor if Ventolin Nebulizer Solution is safe to use while you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breast feeding. Discuss other medical conditions or allergies with your doctor and list any OTC or Rx drugs you currently take or use and include herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements. Your doctor can then determine if Ventolin Nebulizer Solution is right for your situation.
Ventolin Nebulizer Solution Proper Use and Recommendations
For use in children, once the nebulizer is set up and working, monitor younger ones to be certain they are receiving the full benefit of Ventolin Nebulizer Solution. Check blood glucose if you are a diabetic as Albuterol could affect your sugar. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medications, including Ventolin Nebulizer Solution, without talking to your doctor.
