The maximum daily dose is 8 inhalations (0.8 mg of salbutamol).
Side effects
During therapy, finger tremors may develop, which is a typical side effect for all β-2-adrenergic receptor agonists.
Other possible side reactions: hyperexcitability, anxiety, headache, dizziness, insomnia, sleep disturbance, peripheral vasodilation (facial flushing), increased blood pressure, a slight compensatory increase in heart rate, chest pain, muscle cramps, dyspeptic disorders, vomiting, nausea, hypersensitivity reactions (in the form of angioedema, urticaria, erythema, nasal congestion, bronchospasm, arterial hypotension, collapse), increased motor activity and agitation in children, arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation, extrasystole and pancreatic tachycardia).
The use of Salamol Eco can lead to the development of paradoxical bronchospasm, cause cough, irritation of the mucous membrane of the pharyngeal cavity (pharyngitis) and mouth.
It is also likely that hypokalemia and reversible metabolic disturbances pose a serious danger to the patient.
special instructions
The use of Salamol Eco in severe / unstable bronchial asthma should not be the only or main method of treatment.
In cases where the effect of a standard dose becomes less effective, or its duration decreases (less than 3 hours), it is necessary to consult a specialist.
Between the doses of the next doses, breaks of several hours should be taken, since the frequent use of Salamol Eco can lead to increased bronchospasm and sudden death.
An increase in the need for the use of the drug in order to control the symptoms of bronchial asthma may indicate an exacerbation of the disease. In this case, it is necessary to revise the therapy plan and decide on the appointment or increase in the dose of systemic or inhaled glucocorticosteroids.
During the treatment period, hypokalemia may develop. It should be borne in mind that in the treatment of severe attacks of bronchial asthma, hypokalemia may increase due to the combined use of xanthine derivatives, diuretics, glucocorticosteroids, and also be associated with hypoxia (control of serum potassium levels is necessary).
At low temperatures, the drug may be less effective. It is recommended to warm the chilled canister before using Salamola Eco in your hands for several minutes.
Before the procedure, the can must be shaken vigorously up and down.
To inject the drug, you should exhale as deeply as possible (without tension), tightly clamp the outlet tube of the balloon with your lips and take a deep, slow breath while simultaneously pressing the valve of the balloon with your index finger. After removing the inhaler tube from your mouth, you must hold your breath for about 10 seconds.
The inhaler should be cleaned with warm water at least once every 7 days. Do not dip a metal can in water.

With the combined use of Salamol Eco with certain drugs / substances, the following effects may develop:
- theophylline and other xanthines: an increase in the likelihood of tachyarrhythmias;
- levodopa, drugs for inhalation anesthesia: increased likelihood of severe ventricular arrhythmias;
- non-selective β-adrenergic receptor blockers: development of interaction (the combination is not recommended);
- tricyclic antidepressants, monoamine oxidase inhibitors: increased action of salbutamol, a sharp decrease in pressure;
