Salbutamol is the first selective short-acting β 2-agonist (SABA) used as an alternative reliever in the treatment of asthma. Its therapeutic effect is based on its potent smooth muscle relaxant properties, which allow the inhibition of bronchial smooth muscle contraction and …

Apr 7, 2022 · Turbuhalers are inhaler devices that help deliver a specific amount of medication to your lungs. They are used to deliver medications that are used for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Both asthma and COPD affect the lungs which makes it harder for the person to breathe.

Salbutamol inhalers are safe and effective with few side effects if you use them as advised by your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. Salbutamol inhalers are called "reliever" inhalers because they give you quick relief from breathing problems when you need it.

Jan 15, 1998 · The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy and safety of salbutamol given via pMDI or Turbuhaler (both 100 μ g per inhalation). Adult asthmatic patients of either sex (n = 22) and with reversible airflow obstruction were included in a …

Jun 1, 2000 · We conclude that the efficacy of salbutamol given at equivalent microgram doses, as well as side-effects, are comparable when the drug is given via Diskus or Turbuhaler. The present data shows that salbutamol given by these devices have similar therapeutic ratios.

On the study days, salbutamol was given with increasing doses (200 to 3,200 m g cumulative) or placebo, via pMDI or Turbuhaler. A dose-related increase in FEV 1 was observed after administration of salbutamol given via either device, versus placebo. The im-provement in FEV 1 was similar whether salbutamol was given via pMDI or Turbuhaler, at ...

Apr 4, 2023 · Salbutamol is a beta-2 agonist and 'reliever' medication used to open up the airways in people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It comes in a range of forms, including as an inhaler, tablet, syrup, nebulizer solution and injec

The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy and safety of salbutamol given via Diskus™or Turbuhaler. Twenty-five asthmatics with step-wise reversible airflow obstruction (total reversibility of at least 15%) were included in a randomized, double-dummy, placebo-controlled cross-over study.

Apr 1, 1996 · In conclusion, this study demonstrated that terbutaline via Turbuhaler was more effective than salbutamol via Rotahaler in controlling lung function in adult patients with mild to moderate asthma. Both inhalation devices were well-accepted, with 44% of patients preferring Turbuhaler, 16% preferring Rotahaler and 40% stating no preference for ...

Dec 4, 2024 · The intervention arm received budesonide/formoterol (Symbicort® 160/4.5mcg) turbuhaler, while the control arm received pMDI salbutamol with a valved holding chamber. Stratified randomization with variable baseline ICS use was employed. Direct discharge rate from outpatient ED was the primary outcome.
