Asmalyn Syrup (Salbutamol) 100ml
Asmalyn Syrup is a trusted oral bronchodilator manufactured in Nigeria by Mopson Pharmaceutical Limited. It contains Salbutamol (as Sulphate), which is highly effective for managing respiratory issues like asthma and chronic bronchitis.
Asmalyn works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe during episodes of chest tightness or wheezing. It is an ideal option for children and elderly patients who may struggle with using traditional inhalers.
What is Asmalyn Syrup Used For?
Asmalyn is primarily used to relieve and prevent bronchospasm. It is commonly prescribed for:
- Bronchial Asthma: Providing quick relief from wheezing and shortness of breath.
- Chronic Bronchitis: Helping to open up obstructed airways.
- COPD Management: Easing long-term breathing difficulties.
- Wheezing in Children: Often used when a child has a "chesty" sound or difficulty breathing.
How to Use Asmalyn Syrup
This medication should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as advised by a GoMed pharmacist.
- Adults: The usual dose is 5ml to 10ml (2mg to 4mg) taken 3 or 4 times daily.
- Children (2-6 years): Usually 2.5ml to 5ml.
- Children (6-12 years): Usually 5ml.
Always use a proper measuring cup or spoon to ensure the correct dosage. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but do not double the dose.
Important Precautions
- Not a Cough Syrup: While often searched as "Asmalyn cough syrup," it is actually a bronchodilator. If you have a dry cough without wheezing, consult a professional to ensure this is the right treatment.
- Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak with a healthcare professional before use.
- Side Effects: You might experience mild tremors (shaky hands) or a faster heartbeat. These are common and usually fade.
