Ventolin is a drug for the elimination of asthma (bronchial) attacks and other reversible diseases with bronchial obstruction.
Main active ingredient: salbutamol.
pharmachologic effect
Salbutamol affects beta 2 -adrenergic receptors and thereby causes bronchodilation in bronchospasm. The beta 1 -adrenergic receptors of the heart are not significantly affected. Antiallergic action is to prevent the release of histamine and other mediators (a slowly reacting substance) from mast cells.
10-20% of the dose is absorbed into the general bloodstream, with which it enters the liver and turns into simple compounds that are excreted by the kidneys. The remainder of the administered dose of the drug enters the digestive system and is also absorbed from the intestines into the blood.
The onset of action of Ventolin for inhalation falls on the 5th minute. The effect of salbutamol lasts for 4 to 6 hours.
