VENTOLIN 4mg – GSK
Description: VENTOLIN 4mg Tablets are an effective bronchodilator medication designed to treat and prevent bronchospasm in patients with reversible obstructive airway disease, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Each tablet contains 4 milligrams (mg) of the active substance Albuterol (also known as Salbutamol), which helps to relax the muscles in the airways and improve breathing.
Active Substance:
- Albuterol (4 mg): A beta-2 adrenergic agonist that works by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the lungs, leading to the relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles. This action helps to open up the airways, making it easier to breathe.
Manufacturer: VENTOLIN 4mg Tablets are manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a global healthcare company known for its commitment to producing high-quality, effective medications. GSK is a trusted name in respiratory care, providing innovative treatments for patients with asthma and COPD.
