How It Works

Ventolin Evohaler is a pressurised metered-dose inhaler delivering 100 micrograms of salbutamol per actuation. Salbutamol is a selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist that provides rapid relief from bronchospasm by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways. This action helps to alleviate symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

The inhaler is designed for oral inhalation, allowing the medication to be delivered directly to the lungs where it is needed most. This targeted approach ensures quick onset of action, typically within minutes, and minimizes systemic side effects.
