Asthalin Respules – Salbutamol Solution for Nebulization
Asthalin Respules contain Salbutamol (Albuterol), a fast-acting bronchodilator used to relieve symptoms of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other conditions associated with bronchospasm. Each respule contains a sterile, unit-dose solution of Salbutamol (typically 2.5 mg/2.5 ml), designed for use with a nebulizer device for direct delivery to the lungs.

Empty the contents of one respule into a nebulizer chamber and inhale the mist over 5–10 minutes using a mouthpiece or face mask. Do not swallow or inject. Use as directed by your physician, usually every 4–6 hours as needed.
