Ventolin (Albuterol)
Brand name : Ventolin
Generic Name : Albuterol
Manufacturer : Glaxo Wellcome
Description
Each 5 mL of expectorant syrup contains salbutamol
sulfate equivalent to salbutamol BP 1 mg and guaifenesin BPC 50
mg.
Each pressurized metered-dose inhaler delivers
salbutamol (as sulfate) 100 mcg/actuation, into the mouthpiece
of a specially designed actuator.
Each 2.5 mL nebule contains 2.5 mg salbutamol
sulfate solution in normal saline. The concentration of salbutamol
is 0.1% (salbutamol as the sulfate 1 mg/mL).
Each mL of ampoule contains salbutamol sulfate
equivalent to salbutamol 0.5 mg (500 mcg/mL) in a sterile isotonic
solution adjusted to pH 3.5.
The respirator solution is adjusted with acid
to pH 3.5.
The evohaler also contains CFC-free propellant
HFA134A.
Precautions
The management of asthma should normally follow
a stepwise programme, and response should be monitored clinically
and by lung function tests.
Increasing use of short-acting inhaled ß2-agonists
to control symptoms indicates deterioration of asthma control.
Under these conditions, the patient’s therapy plan should
be reassessed.
Sudden and progressive deterioration in asthma
control is potentially life-threatening and consideration should
be given to starting or increasing corticosteroid therapy.
If dose fails to give usual relief, medical
advice should be sought.
Use with caution in patients with thyrotoxicosis.
In common with other ß-adrenoceptor agonists,
Ventolin can induce reversible metabolic changes, eg reversible
hypokalaemia and increased blood sugar levels. Concurrent administration
of corticosteroids can exaggerate this effect.
Potentially serious hypokalaemia may result
from ß2-agonist therapy mainly from parenteral and nebulised
administration. Particular caution is advised in acute severe
asthma as this effect may be potentiated by concomitant treatment
with xanthine derivatives, steroids, diuretics and by hypoxia.
It is recommended that serum potassium levels are monitored in
such situations.
Expectorant Syrup:
Long-term treatment with Ventolin expectorant
(sugar-containing preparation) increases the risk of dental caries.
It is important that adequate dental hygiene is maintained.
Respirator Solution/Nebules:
Caution in patients who have received large doses of other sympathomimetic
drugs.
Acute angle-closure glaucoma with a combination
of nebulised salbutamol and ipratropium bromide. A combination
of nebulised salbutamol with nebulised anticholinergics should
therefore be used cautiously. Patients should be warned not to
let the solution or mist enter the eye.
Patients receiving treatment at home with Ventolin respirator
solution must be warned that if either the usual relief is diminished
or the usual duration of action reduced, they should not increase
the dose or its frequency of administration, but should seek medical
advice.
Respirator Solution:
Reversible metabolic changes, eg increased blood glucose.
Evohaler:
In patients considered at risk, daily peak flow monitoring may
be instituted.
In the event of a previously effective dose
of inhaled salbutamol failing to give relief for at least 3 hrs,
seek medical advice.
Patients’ inhaler technique should be
checked to make sure that aerosol actuation is synchronised with
inspiration of breath for optimum delivery of the drug to the
lungs.
Nebules: In
domiciliary use, if dose fails to give usual relief, medical advice
should be sought.
Injection: The
use of Ventolin parenteral preparations in the treatment of severe
bronchospasm or status asthmaticus does not obviate the requirement
for glucocorticoid steroid therapy as appropriate. When practicable,
administration of oxygen concurrently with parenteral Ventolin
is recommended, particularly when it is given by IV infusion in
hypoxic patients.
Diabetic patients and those currently receiving
corticosteroids should be monitored frequently during IV infusion
of Ventolin. For these patients, Ventolin injection should be
diluted with sodium chloride injection BP, rather than sodium
chloride and dextrose injection BP.
In the treatment of premature labour by IV infusion
of salbutamol increases in maternal heart rate of the order of
20-50 beats/min usually accompany the infusion. The maternal pulse
rate should be monitored and not normally allowed to exceed a
steady rate of 140 beats/min. Maternal blood pressure may fall
slightly during the infusion; the effect being greater on diastolic
than on systolic pressure. Falls in diastolic pressure are usually
within the range of 10-20 mm Hg. The effect of infusion on foetal
heart rate is less marked but increases of up to 20 beats/min
may occur. In the treatment of premature labour, before Ventolin
parenteral preparations are given to any patient with known heart
disease, an adequate assessment of the patient’s cardiovascular
status should be made by a physician experienced in cardiology.
Tablet/Injection:
As maternal pulmonary oedema has been reported
during or following treatment of premature labour with ß2-agonists,
careful attention should be given to fluid balance and cardiorespiratory
function monitored.
Use in pregnancy
& lactation: As with any medicine, administration
of drugs during pregnancy should only be considered if the expected
benefit to the mother is greater than any possible risk to the
foetus.
During worldwide marketing experience, rare
cases of various congenital anomalies, including cleft palate
and limb defects have been reported in the offspring of patients
being treated with salbutamol. Some of the mothers were taking
multiple medications during their pregnancies.
Because no consistent pattern of defects can be discerned, and
baseline rate for congenital anomalies is 2-3%, a relationship
with salbutamol use cannot be established.
As salbutamol is probably secreted in breast
milk, its use in nursing mothers is not recommended unless the
expected benefits outweigh any potential risk. It is not known
whether salbutamol in breast milk has a harmful effect on the
neonate.
Indications
Tablet:
For the relief of bronchospasm in bronchial asthma of all types,
chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Management of uncomplicated
premature labour during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy following
the control of uterine contractions with parenteral salbutamol.

of acute exacerbations in moderate and severe asthma.
Injection:
Management of an asthmatic attack, and for uncomplicated premature
labor, under the direction of a physician. Relief of severe bronchospasm
associated with asthma or bronchitis and for the treatment of
status asthmaticus. For the management of uncomplicated premature
labour in the last trimester of pregnancy.
Actions
Pharmacology: Salbutamol is a selective ß2-adrenoceptor
agonist. At therapeutic doses, it acts on the ß2-adrenoceptors
of bronchial muscle, with little or no action on the ß1-adrenoceptors
of the heart. With its fast onset of action, it is particularly
suitable for the management and prevention of attack in asthma.
Bronchodilators should not be the only or main
treatment in patients with severe or unstable asthma. Severe asthma
requires regular medical assessment as death may occur. Patients
with severe asthma have constant symptoms and frequent exacerbations,
with limited physical capacity, and Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)
values <60% predicted at baseline with >30% variability,
usually not returning entirely to normal after a bronchodilator.
These patients will require high dose inhaled (eg, >1 mg/day
beclomethasone dipropionate) or oral corticosteroid therapy. Sudden
worsening of symptoms may require increased corticosteroid dosage
which should be administered under urgent medical supervision.
With this primary background corticosteroid
treatment, Ventolin provides essential rescue medication for a
severe asthmatic in treating acute exacerbations. Failure to respond
promptly or fully to such rescue medication signals a need for
urgent medical advice and treatment.
Salbutamol provides short-acting (4 hrs) bronchodilation with
fast onset (within 5 min) in reversible airways obstruction due
to asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is suitable for
long-term use in the relief and prevention of asthmatic symptoms.
Ventolin should be used to relieve symptoms
when they occur and to prevent them in those circumstances recognised
by the patient to precipitate an asthmatic attack (eg, before
exercise or unavoidable allergen exposure).
Ventolin is particularly valuable as rescue
medication in mild, moderate or severe asthma provided that reliance
on it does not delay the introduction and use of regular inhaled
corticosteroid therapy.
Expectorant Syrup: The combination of salbutamol with guaifenesin
is designed to relieve respiratory obstruction.
Pharmacokinetics:
Salbutamol administered IV has a half-life of 4-6 hrs (tablet/syrup/evohaler/nebules)
and 2.4-4.2 hrs (expectorant syrup/respirator solution/injection),
and orally 2.7-5.5 hrs (expectorant syrup), and is cleared partly
renally and partly by metabolism to the inactive 4’-O-sulfate
(phenolic sulfate) which is also excreted primarily in the urine.
The faeces is a minor route of excretion. The majority of a dose
of salbutamol given IV, orally or by inhalation is excreted within
72 hrs. Salbutamol is bound to plasma proteins to the extent of
10%.
After oral administration, salbutamol is absorbed
from the gastrointestinal tract and undergoes considerable first-pass
metabolism to the phenolic sulfate. Both unchanged drug and conjugate
are excreted primarily in the urine. The bioavailability of orally
administered salbutamol is about 50%.
After administration by the inhaled route between 10% and 20%
of the dose reaches the lower airways. The remainder is retained
in the delivery system or is deposited in the oropharynx from
where it is swallowed. The fraction deposited in the airways is
absorbed into the pulmonary tissues and circulation but is not
metabolized by the lung. On reaching the systemic circulation,
it becomes accessible to hepatic metabolism and is excreted, primarily
in the urine, as unchanged drug and as the phenolic sulfate.
The swallowed portion of an inhaled dose is
absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and undergoes considerable
first-pass metabolism to the phenolic sulfate. Both unchanged
drug and conjugate are excreted primarily in the urine.
Toxicology: Preclinical
Safety Data: In common with other potent selective ß2-receptor
agonists, salbutamol has been shown to be teratogenic in mice
when given SC. In a reproductive study, 9.3% of foetuses were
found to have a cleft palate, at 2.5 mg/kg, 4 times the maximum
human oral dose. In rats, treatment at the levels of 0.5, 2.32,
10.75 and 50 mg/kg/day orally throughout pregnancy resulted in
no significant foetal abnormalities. The only toxic effect was
an increase in neonatal mortality at the highest dose level as
the result of lack of maternal care. A reproductive study in rabbits
revealed cranial malformations in 37% of foetuses at 50 mg/kg/day,
78 times the maximum human oral dose.
HFA134a has been shown to be nontoxic at very
high vapour concentrations, far in excess of those likely to be
experienced by patients, in a wide range of animal species exposed
daily for periods of 2 years.
Dosage
Salbutamol has a duration of action of 4-6 hrs
in most patients.
Increasing use of ß2-agonists may be a
sign of worsening asthma. Under these conditions, a reassessment
of the patient’s therapy plan may be required and concomitant
glucocorticosteroid therapy should be considered.
As there may be adverse effects associated with
excessive dosing, the dosage or frequency of administration should
only be increased on medical advice.
Tablet: Adults:
The usual effective dose is 2 tabs (4 mg) 3 or 4 times per day.
If adequate bronchodilation is not obtained, each single dose
may be gradually increased to as much as 4 tabs (8 mg).
Some patients obtain adequate relief with 1
tab (2 mg) 3 or 4 times daily.
In the management of premature labour, after uterine contractions
have been controlled by IV infusion of Ventolin and the infusion
has been withdrawn, maintenance therapy can be continued with
oral Ventolin. The usual dosage is 2 tabs (4 mg), 3 or 4 times
daily.
In elderly patients or in those known to be
unusually sensitive to ß-adrenergic stimulant drugs, it
is advisable to initiate treatment with Ventolin 1 tab (2 mg)
3 or 4 times per day.
Children >12 years: 1-2 tabs (2-4 mg); 6-12 years: 1 tab (2
mg); 2-6 years: ½-1 tab (1-2 mg). All doses to be given
3 or 4 times daily.
Syrup: Adults:
The usual effective dose is 2 tsp (10 mL) 3 or 4 times per day.
If adequate bronchodilation is not obtained, each single dose
may be gradually increased to as much as 4 tsp (20 mL).
Some patients obtain adequate relief with 1
tsp (5 mL) 3 of 4 times daily.
In elderly patients or in those known to be unusually sensitive
to ß-adrenergic stimulant drugs, it is advisable to initiate
treatment with 1 tsp (5 mL) 3 or 4 times per day.
Children >12 years: 1-2
tsp (5-10 mL); 6-12 years: 1 tsp (5 mL); 2-6 years: ½-1
tsp (2.5-5 mL). All doses to be given 3 or 4 times daily.
Dilution: Ventolin syrup may
be diluted with purified water BP. The resulting mixture should
be protected from light and used within 28 days.
A 50% v/v dilution of Ventolin syrup has been
shown to be adequately preserved against microbial contamination.
However, to avoid the possibility of introducing excessive microbial
contamination, the purified water used for dilution should be
recently prepared or alternatively, it should be boiled and cooled
immediately before use.
Dilution of Ventolin syrup with syrup BP or
sorbitol solution is not recommended as this may result in precipitation
of the cellulose thickening agent.
Admixture of Ventolin syrup with other liquid preparations is
not recommended.
Expectorant Syrup:
Adults: 2-4 tsp (10-20 mL) 3 or 4 times daily.
Children >12 years:
2-4 tsp (10-20 mL) 3 or 4 times daily; 6-12 years: 2 tsp (10 mL)
3 or 4 times daily; 2-6 years: 1-2 tsp (5-10 mL) 2 or 3 times
daily.
The volumes quoted are based on a formulation
strength of salbutamol 1 mg per 5 mL of syrup.
Salbutamol has a duration of action of 4-6 hrs in most patients.
As there may be adverse effects associated with excessive dosing,
the dosage or frequency of administration should only be increased
on medical advice.
Increasing use of ß2-agonists may be a
sign of worsening asthma. Under these conditions, a reassessment
of the patient’s therapy plan may be required and concomitant
glucocorticosteroid therapy should be considered.
Respirator Solution:
Ventolin respirator solution is to be used with
a respirator or nebuliser, only under the direction of a physician.
The solution must not be injected.
Delivery of the aerosol may be by face mask, ‘T’ piece
or via an endotracheal tube. Intermittent positive pressure ventilation
may be used but is rarely necessary. When there is a risk of anoxia
through hypoventilation, oxygen should be added to the inspired
air.
As many nebulisers operate on a continuous flow basis, it is likely
that the nebulised drug will be released in the local environment.
Ventolin respirator solution should therefore be administered
in a well ventilated room, particularly in hospitals when several
patients may be using nebulisers at the same time.
By Intermittent Administration: Intermittent
treatment may be repeated 4 times daily.
Adults: 0.5-1 mL (2.5-5 mg of salbutamol) should be diluted to
a final volume of 2 or 2.5 mL using normal saline for injection
as a diluent. The resulting solution is inhaled from a suitably
driven nebuliser until aerosol generation ceases. Using a correctly
matched nebuliser and driving source, this should take about 10
min.
Ventolin respirator solution may be used undiluted for intermittent
administration. For this, 2 mL of Ventolin respirator solution
(10 mg salbutamol) is placed in the nebuliser and the patient
allowed to inhale the nebulised solution until bronchodilatation
is achieved. This usually takes 3-5 min.
Some adult patients may require higher doses of salbutamol, up
to 10 mg, in which case, nebulisation of the undiluted solution
may continue until aerosol generation ceases.
Children:
The same mode of administration for intermittent administration
is also applicable to children.
The usual dosage for children <12 years is 0.5 ml (2.5 mg salbutamol)
diluted to 2 or 2.5 mL using normal saline for injection as diluent.
Some children may however require higher doses of salbutamol up
to 5 mg.
Clinical efficacy of nebulised salbutamol in infants <18 months
is uncertain. As transient hypoxaemia may occur, supplemental
oxygen therapy should be considered.
By Continuous Administration: Ventolin respirator
solution is diluted with normal saline for injection to contain
50- 100 mcg of salbutamol per mL, (1-2 mL solution made up to
100 ml with diluent). The diluted solution is administered as
an aerosol by a suitably driven nebuliser. The usual rate of administration
is 1-2 mg/hr.
Dilution: Ventolin respirator solution may be
diluted with sodium chloride injection BP (normal saline). Any
unused solution in the chamber of the nebuliser must be discarded.
Evohaler: Ventolin evohaler is administered by the oral inhaled
route only. In patients who find coordination of a pressurised
metered-dose inhaler difficult, a Volumatic spacer may be used
with Ventolin evohaler.
Babies and young children may benefit from use of the Babyhaler
spacer device with Ventolin evohaler.
Relief of Acute Bronchospasm: Adults: 100 or
200 mcg.
Children: 100 mcg, the dose
may be increased to 200 mcg as prescribed by the physician.
Prevention of Allergen or Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm: Adults:
200 mcg before challenge.
Children: 100 mcg before challenge,
the dose may be increased to 200 mcg as prescribed by the physician.
Chronic Therapy:
Adults: Up to 200 mcg 4 times daily.
Children: Up to 200 mcg 4 times
daily.
On demand use of Ventolin should not exceed 4 times daily. Reliance
on such supplementary use or a sudden increase in dose indicates
deteriorating asthma (see Precautions).
Instructions For
Use/Handling:
Testing the Inhaler: Before using for the first time, remove the
mouthpiece cover by gently squeezing the sides of the cover, shake
the inhaler well, and release 2 puffs into the air to make sure
that it works.
If it has not been used for several days, shake it well and release
1 puff into the air to make sure that it works.
Using the Inhaler:
1. Remove the mouthpiece cover by gently squeezing the sides of
the cover and check the mouthpiece inside and outside to see that
it is clean.
2. Shake the inhaler well.
3. Hold the inhaler upright between fingers and the thumb with
the thumb on the base, below the mouthpiece.
4. Breathe out as far as is comfortable and
then place the mouthpiece in the mouth between the teeth and close
the lips around it but do not bite it.
5. Just after starting to breathe in through the mouth, press
down on the top of the inhaler to release salbutamol while still
breathing in steadily and deeply.
6. While holding the breath, take the inhaler from the mouth and
take the finger from the top of the inhaler. Continue holding
the breath for as long as is comfortable.
7. If it is needed to take further puffs, keep
the inhaler upright and wait about half a minute before repeating
steps 2-6.
The mouthpiece cover is replaced by firmly pushing
and snapping the cap into position.
Note:
Do not rush steps 4, 5 and 6. It is important to start breathing
in as slowly as possible just before operating the inhaler.
Practice in front of a mirror for the first
few times. If a ‘mist’ is seen coming from the top
of the inhaler or the sides of the mouth, start again from step
2.
If the doctor has given different instructions for using the inhaler,
follow them carefully. Tell the doctor if there are any difficulties.
Cleaning:
The inhaler should be cleaned at least once a week.
Remove the metal canister from the plastic casing
of the inhaler and remove the mouthpiece cover.
Rinse the actuator thoroughly under warm running water.
Dry the actuator thoroughly inside and out.
Replace the canister and mouthpiece cover.
Do not put the metal canister into water.
Nebules:
Ventolin nebules are intended to be used undiluted. However, if
prolonged delivery time is desirable (>10 min) dilution using
normal saline for injection as a diluent may be required.
Ventolin nebules are to be used with a nebuliser,
under the direction of a physician. The solution must not be injected.
Delivery of the aerosol may be by face mask,
‘T’ piece or via an endotracheal tube.
Intermittent positive pressure ventilation may be used but is
rarely necessary. When there is a risk of anoxia through hypoventilation,
oxygen should be added to the inspired air.
As many nebulisers operate on a continuous flow
basis, it is likely that nebulised drug will be released in the
local environment. Ventolin nebules should therefore be administered
in a well ventilated room, particularly in hospitals when several
patients may be using nebulisers at the same time.
Adults and Children:
A suitable starting dose of salbutamol by wet inhalation is 2.5
mg. This may be increased to 5 mg. Treatment may be repeated 4
times daily. In adults, higher dosing, up to 40 mg/day, can be
given under strict medical supervision in hospital for the treatment
of severe airways obstruction.
Clinical efficacy of nebulised salbutamol in
infants <18 months is uncertain. As transient hypoxaemia may
occur, supplemental oxygen therapy should be considered.
Dilution: Ventolin nebules
may be diluted with sodium chloride injection BP.
Injection: Ventolin parenteral preparations are to be used under
the direction of a physician and should not be administered in
the same syringe or infusion as any other medication.
Adults: Severe Bronchospasm
and Status Asthmaticus:
SC Route: 500 mcg (8 mcg/kg body weight) and repeated every 4
hrs as required.
IM Route: 500 mcg (8 mcg/kg body weight) and repeated every 4
hrs as required.
IV Route: 250 mcg (4 mcg/kg body weight) injected slowly. If necessary,
the dose may be repeated. If used for slow IV injection, Ventolin
injection may be diluted with water for injection BP. A suitably
dilute preparation is 250 mcg in 5 mL (50 mcg/mL).
Infusion: In
status asthmaticus, infusion rates of 3-20 mcg/min are generally
adequate but in patients with respiratory failure, higher dosage
has been used with success. A starting dose of 5 mcg/min is recommended
with appropriate adjustment in dosage according to patient response.
A suitable solution for infusion may be prepared by diluting 1
mL of Ventolin injection in 50 mL of an infusion solution, eg
sodium chloride and dextrose injection BP to provide a salbutamol
dose of 10 mcg/mL of solution.
Management of
Premature Labour: A suitable solution for IV infusion
may be prepared by diluting 1 mL of Ventolin injection in 50 mL
of an infusion solution, eg sodium chloride and dextrose injection
BP to provide a salbutamol dose of 10 mcg/mL of solution. Infusion
rates of 10-45 mcg/min are generally adequate to control uterine
contractions but greater or lesser infusion rates may be required
according to the strength and frequency of contractions. A starting
rate of 10 mcg/min is recommended, increasing the rate at 10-min
intervals until there is evidence of patient response shown by
diminution in strength, frequency or duration of contractions.
Thereafter, the infusion rate may be increased slowly until contractions
cease. The maternal pulse rate should be monitored and the infusion
rate adjusted to avoid excessive maternal heart rates (>140
beats/min). Once uterine contractions have ceased, the infusion
rate should be maintained at the same level for 1 hr and then
reduced by 50% decrements at 6-hourly intervals. Treatment may
be continued orally with Ventolin tablet 4 mg given 3-4 times
daily.
As an alternative procedure or to counteract
inadvertent overdosage with oxytocic drugs, Ventolin injection
may be administered as a single injection by the IV or IM routes.
The usual recommended dose is 100-250 mcg of salbutamol. The dose
may be repeated according to the response of the patient.
Children: At present, there
is insufficient evidence to recommend a dosage regimen for routine
use in children.
Dilution: Ventolin parenteral
preparations may be diluted with water for injections BP, sodium
chloride injection BP, sodium chloride and dextrose injection
BP or dextrose injection BP. These are only recommended diluents.
Overdosage
The preferred antidote for overdosage with salbutamol
is a cardioselective ß-blocking agent. However, ß-blocking
drugs should be used with caution in patients with a history of
bronchospasm.
Hypokalaemia may occur following overdosage with salbutamol. Serum
potassium levels should be monitored.
Respirator Solution:
During continuous administration of Ventolin respirator solution,
any signs of overdosage can be usually counteracted by withdrawal
of the drug.
Contraindication
Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to
any of the components of Ventolin.
Although intravenous salbutamol and occasionally
salbutamol tablets are used in the management of premature labour,
uncomplicated by conditions, eg placenta praevia, antepartum haemorrhage
or toxaemia of pregnancy, salbutamol presentations should not
be used for threatened abortion.
Respirator Solution/Nebules: Inhaled salbutamol presentations
are not appropriate for managing premature labour.
Drug Interaction
Salbutamol and nonselective ß-blocking drugs, eg propranolol,
should not usually be prescribed together.
Salbutamol is not contraindicated in patients under treatment
with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
Cautions For Usage
As with most inhaled medications in aerosol canisters,
the therapeutic effect of this medication may decrease when the
canister is cold.
The canister should not be broken, punctured or burnt, even
when apparently empty.
