Vental Inhaler Spray

Vental Inhaler Spray

Description:

Vental Inhaler Spray is a prescription bronchodilator medicine containing salbutamol, designed for rapid relief of asthma symptoms and reversible bronchospasm. Each actuation delivers 100 mcg of salbutamol to the airways, helping to relax bronchial smooth muscle and open the air passages for easier breathing. It is commonly used as a “reliever” or “rescue” inhaler for patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other conditions associated with reversible airway obstruction. Manufactured by Arab Drug Company (ADCO), this metered-dose inhaler provides 200 precisely measured doses for reliable and fast-acting symptom control.

Indications:

• Rapid relief of acute bronchospasm in patients with asthma.
• Treatment and prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) when used before physical activity, as directed by a physician.
• Symptomatic relief of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough associated with reversible obstructive airway diseases.
• Adjunctive treatment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with a reversible component, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, as prescribed.
• Emergency relief inhaler for sudden asthma attacks, as part of an overall asthma management plan.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Salbutamol (as salbutamol sulfate) – 100 mcg per actuation (dose).
• Each inhaler contains 200 metered doses.
• Propellants and pharmaceutical excipients (exact composition not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.)).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as directed by your doctor and according to your personalized asthma or COPD action plan.
• Typical adult and adolescent dose for acute relief (as commonly prescribed): 1–2 puffs as needed for relief of symptoms, with a suitable interval between doses. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose recommended by your physician. (Exact dosing must be confirmed by a healthcare professional.)
• Prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm: Usually 1–2 puffs 10–15 minutes before exercise, as directed by your doctor.
• Children: Dose and frequency must be strictly determined by a pediatrician based on age, weight, and disease severity.
• General inhaler use (metered-dose inhaler technique):
  • Remove the cap and check that the mouthpiece is clean and free from dust or foreign objects.
  • Shake the inhaler well before each use.
  • Exhale gently to empty your lungs, away from the inhaler.
  • Place the mouthpiece between your teeth and close your lips around it, without biting.
  • Start to breathe in slowly and deeply through your mouth, then press down on the canister once to release one puff while continuing to inhale steadily.
  • Remove the inhaler from your mouth and hold your breath for about 10 seconds or as long as comfortable, then exhale slowly.
  • If a second puff is prescribed, wait about 30 seconds to 1 minute, shake the inhaler again, and repeat the steps.
• Rinse your mouth with water after use if advised by your doctor, especially if using other inhaled medications.
• Do not exceed the prescribed number of puffs per day. If you find you need to use the inhaler more frequently than usual, seek medical advice promptly, as this may indicate worsening asthma or poor disease control.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides rapid bronchodilation by relaxing airway smooth muscle, leading to quick relief of wheezing and shortness of breath.
• Helps open narrowed airways in asthma and COPD, improving airflow and breathing comfort.
• Acts as a short-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (SABA), selectively stimulating beta2 receptors in bronchial smooth muscle to increase cyclic AMP and reduce muscle tone.
• May reduce the release of inflammatory mediators such as leukotrienes and histamine from mast cells in the lungs, contributing to improved airway stability.
• Improves mucociliary clearance and reduces microvascular permeability in the airways, supporting better respiratory function.
• Convenient metered-dose inhaler format with 200 doses allows accurate dosing and portability for on-the-go symptom relief.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under medical supervision and strictly according to your doctor’s instructions.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to salbutamol or any component of the formulation.
• Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, hypertension, or heart failure, as beta2-agonists may cause cardiovascular effects (e.g., tachycardia, palpitations).
• Use with caution in patients with hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, seizure disorders, or those prone to hypokalemia, as salbutamol may exacerbate these conditions.
• Excessive use may lead to decreased effectiveness (tolerance), worsening asthma control, or serious cardiovascular side effects. Do not increase the dose or frequency without consulting your doctor.
• If you experience no improvement or worsening of breathing after using the inhaler, seek immediate medical attention.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Salbutamol should be used in pregnancy only if the expected benefit justifies the potential risk.
• Consult your doctor before use if breastfeeding, as small amounts of salbutamol may be excreted in breast milk.
• Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, especially other bronchodilators, beta-blockers, diuretics, xanthines (e.g., theophylline), and antidepressants (e.g., MAOIs, tricyclics), due to potential interactions.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease outside its approved medical indications.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects: Tremor (shakiness), nervousness, headache, palpitations, increased heart rate (tachycardia), muscle cramps, and mild throat irritation or cough after inhalation.
• Less common side effects: Dizziness, nausea, sweating, restlessness, or sleep disturbances.
• Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention): Chest pain, severe or irregular heartbeat, severe shortness of breath not relieved by the inhaler, allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of face/lips/tongue, difficulty breathing), or signs of low potassium such as muscle weakness or irregular heartbeat.
• If any side effects are severe, persistent, or concerning, stop using the product and consult your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Storage Instructions:

Keep the inhaler away from open flame or high heat, as the pressurized canister may burst if heated. Keep the cap closed when not in use to protect the mouthpiece from dust and contamination. Keep out of reach of children.
