Windel ConviCap DescriptionSalbutamol is a beta-2-adrenergic agonist drug which produces bronchodilatation through stimulation of beta-2-adrenergic receptors of intracellular adenyl cyclase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3\',5\'-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP). Increased cyclic AMP levels are associated with relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and inhibition of release of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity from cells, especially from mast cells. IndicationsFor the relief of bronchospasm in patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and for acute prophylaxis against exercise-induced asthma or in other situations known to induce bronchospasm. Dosage & AdministrationAdults: Side EffectsSalbutamol may cause fine tremor of skeletal muscles (particularly the hands), palpitations and muscle cramps. Tachycardia, tenseness, headaches and peripheral vasodilatation have been reported after large doses. PrecautionsSalbutamol should be used with caution in patients with hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, occlusive vascular disorders, hypertension and aneurysms. Hypokalaemia associated with high doses of Salbutamol may result in increased susceptibility to digitalis-induced cardiac arrhythmias. Tachyphylaxis with resistance may occur with prolonged use of high dosage. Care is necessary when treating patients with diabetes mellitus or closed-angle glaucoma, and in those receiving antihypertensive therapy. Use in Pregnancy & LactationPregnancy: Drug InteractionSalbutamol should be administered with extreme caution to patients being treated with MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants since the action of Salbutamol on the cardiovascular system may be potentiated. Beta-adrenergic blocking drugs, especially the noncardioselective ones; may effectively antagonize the action of Salbutamol. Over DoseThe symptoms with overdose are angina, headache, nausea, vomiting, tremor etc. The preferred antidote for overdosage with Salbutamol is a cardio-selective beta-blocking agent but beta-blocking drugs should be used with caution in patients with a history of bronchospasm.
