Description
Overview of the medicine
Windel 25 mg Respirator Solution contains Salbutamol, a selective beta-2 adrenoceptor agonist. It is used for the rapid relief of bronchospasm in conditions like asthma and COPD, and for the prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
The specific dose for Windel 25 mg Respirator Solution should be determined by a physician. Typical nebulized salbutamol doses range from 2.5 mg to 5 mg, administered 3-4 times daily. The 25 mg concentration likely requires dilution with normal saline before use to achieve the appropriate therapeutic dose. Consult a physician for exact dilution and dosage based on condition severity.
Elderly
Similar to adult dosage, but caution should be exercised, especially in patients with cardiovascular comorbidities. Physician consultation is recommended.
Renal_impairment
No specific dose adjustment is generally required for renal impairment, but caution is advised, and physician consultation is recommended for individual cases.
How to Take
For inhalation only, administered via a nebulizer. Do not inject or swallow. Dilute with normal saline if necessary, as per physician's instruction.
Mechanism of Action
Salbutamol acts as a selective beta-2 adrenoceptor agonist, stimulating beta-2 receptors in bronchial smooth muscle. This leads to relaxation of the smooth muscle, causing bronchodilation and increased airflow.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Within 5 minutes
Excretion
Excreted primarily in the urine, both as unchanged drug and its metabolite.
Half life
Approximately 4-6 hours
Absorption
Readily absorbed from the lungs following inhalation. A small portion is absorbed orally if swallowed.
Metabolism
Mainly metabolized in the liver to an inactive sulfate conjugate.

Storage

Overdose
Symptoms include tachycardia, tremors, palpitations, and hypokalemia. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive; close monitoring of potassium levels is necessary. Serious hypokalemia can occur.
