Description

Aerolin 2mg/5ml Syrup is an effective solution for managing asthma and other respiratory conditions that cause breathing difficulties. The syrup contains Salbutamol, a powerful bronchodilator that helps widen the airways and improve airflow to the lungs. This makes it easier to breathe, relieving symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. It is especially useful in treating bronchospasm associated with asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, and other lung diseases. The syrup is also used in some cases to manage uncomplicated premature labor.

Functions

Aerolin Syrup works by relaxing the muscles of the airways, which helps to open them up and allow better airflow. This bronchodilator effect is particularly useful for patients who suffer from asthma or other chronic respiratory conditions that cause the airways to constrict. By widening the air passages, it reduces symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. In addition to asthma management, it is used to treat acute bronchospasm and prevent exercise-induced asthma symptoms. For premature labor, it works by relaxing the uterine muscles, potentially delaying labor to give the baby more time to develop.

Precautions

Before taking Aerolin 2mg/5ml Syrup, it's important to inform your doctor if you have any underlying health conditions, such as thyroid disorders (thyrotoxicosis), diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or angina. These conditions may require adjusted dosages or additional monitoring. This medication should not be used as the sole treatment for moderate to severe asthma, and plasma potassium levels should be regularly checked during therapy. Patients should also be aware that consuming alcohol while taking Aerolin can increase the risk of side effects, and it is best to avoid alcohol when using this medication.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Aerolin Syrup include fine tremors, headache, and increased heart rate. Other possible side effects include sleep disturbances, muscle cramps, decreased potassium levels, and irritation in the throat or mouth. Although rare, serious side effects such as allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat) or lactic acidosis (a buildup of acid in the blood) may occur. If you experience any of these severe symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. It's also important to monitor for any changes in your breathing or unusual fatigue while using this medication.

Cautions

Aerolin Syrup should be used with caution in pregnant women, as the effects of Salbutamol during pregnancy are not well understood. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medication. It is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers due to the lack of safety data. Additionally, while using this medication, avoid engaging in activities that require full alertness, such as driving, as it may cause dizziness. Lastly, do not use this syrup for managing acute asthma attacks—use a fast-acting inhaler for immediate relief, and consult your doctor for a comprehensive asthma management plan.
