Description
Asthalin rotacaps are capsules that contain a medicine called salbutamol sulfate. The medicine belongs to a group of medicines known as beta 2adrenoreceptor agonists. Each capsule contains the equivalent of 200 mcg of salbutamol. It is indicated for treating or preventing bronchospasm in patients four years of age and older with reversible obstructive airways disease. Asthalin Rotacaps are used in a plastic device called a Rotahaler. When used in Rotahaler, the Rotacaps provide a measured amount of medicine to breathe into your lungs. This medicine will help you to breathe more easily. When you are having trouble breathing or when you are wheezing, Asthalin Rotacaps are used to open up the breathing tubes in your lungs to help ease breathing. As the medicine provides fast relief from your chest symptoms, it is often referred to as a reliever medicine.
