Sulbumol Inhaler (Salbutamol)
Product Description
The Sulbumol Inhaler contains Salbutamol, a short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA) used for the quick relief of bronchospasm in conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by relaxing the muscles of the airways, allowing easier breathing during episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, or chest tightness.
Sulbumol is commonly known as a “reliever inhaler”, and is often part of asthma action plans.
