Salbair-I 100mcg/40mcg Transcaps
Product Overview:
Salbair-I Transcaps is used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other lung conditions like asthma and bronchitis. It helps open up the airways by relaxing the muscles around them, making it easier to breathe. This medicine reduces symptoms like coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
How to Use:
Your doctor will guide you on how often to use the inhaler. It may take a few days to notice improvement, with full benefits after several weeks. Use it regularly as prescribed—even if you feel well—to keep your lungs clear and prevent worsening symptoms. This medicine is not for sudden breathing problems; use your rescue inhaler if that happens.
Make sure to use the inhaler correctly for best results. If unsure, ask your doctor or nurse for help.
