Proventil (Albuterol/Salbutamol) is used to treat asthma and other chest illnesses.


Drug Name

Proventil (Albuterol/Salbutamol)

Drug Uses

Proventil is used to treat people with asthma and other chest illnesses. It is particularly prescribed to relieve asthma symptoms, and to prevent asthma symptoms brought on by exercise or other triggers.

How Taken

To treat asthma symptoms such as wheezing, breathlessness and tightness in your chest, a usual dose is:

* Adults: One or two puffs to relieve symptoms or two puffs 10-15 minutes before exercise or exposure to a trigger
* Children: One or two puffs to relieve symptoms or 10-15 minutes before exercise or exposure to a trigger.

Usually the most you would take in a 24-hour period is 8 puffs.

For regular treatment:

* Adults and children: Two puffs up to 4 times a day.

Drug Class and Mechanism

Proventil contains the active ingredient Salbutamol, which is a type of medicine known as a short-acting beta 2 agonist. It works by acting on receptors in the lungs called beta 2 receptors. Stimulation of these receptors causes the muscles in the airways to relax, allowing the airways to open.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, use only that dose. Do not use double or extra doses.

Storage

Store at the room temperature away from moisture and sunlight. Keep out of the reach of children.
