Salamol Easi-Breathe contains a medicine called salbutamol. This belongs to a group of medicines called fast acting bronchodilators. Bronchodilators help the airways in your lungs to stay open. This makes it easier for air to get in and out. They help to relieve chest tightness, wheezing and cough.
Salamol Easi-Breathe is an easy to use reliever inhaler, which is used to treat breathing problems in people with asthma and similar conditions. This includes relieving and preventing asthma brought on by exercise or other “triggers”. These are things which bring on asthma symptoms in some people. Common triggers include house dust, pollen, cats, dogs and cigarette smoke.
How to use your inhaler:
1 Shake inhaler vigorously.
2 Hold inhaler upright and open it by folding down the cap which fits over the mouthpiece.
3 Breathe out normally as far as you comfortably can. Hold the mouthpiece firmly between your lips. Hold inhaler upright ensuring that the air holes are not blocked. Breathe in slowly and deeply through the mouthpiece. Don’t stop breathing when the inhaler puffs the dose into your mouth. Carry on until you have taken a deep breath.
4 Take the inhaler out of your mouth and hold your breath for 10 seconds or as long as you comfortably can. Then breathe out slowly.
5 After you have used your inhaler, hold it upright and replace cap immediately.
6 If you need to take more than one puff, close the cap, wait for about one minute, then start again from step 1.
