Salbutamol tablets are indicated in the treatment of:
The usual initial adult dosage for treatment of asthma is 2 to 4 milligrams (mg) three to four times a day. If the patient fails to respond to the upper limit of this range, doses may be cautiously increased to a maximum of 8 mg four times a day.
In general, no dose reduction is necessary for geriatric patients treated with salbutamol. Geriatric patients and patients who are unusually sensitive to beta-adrenergic stimulators should begin salbutamol therapy with 2 milligrams orally three or four times a day. If adequate bronchodilatation is not achieved, the salbutamol doses may be gradually increased to a maximum of 8 milligrams four times a day.
Children aged 3-6 years: A dose of 1 mg to 2 mg, administered three or four times daily.
Children aged 6-12 years: A dose of 2 mg, administered three or four times daily.
Children aged over 12 years: A dose of 2 to 4 mg administered three of four times daily. If the child does not respond the dose can be increased gradually.
Salbutamol tablets are for oral administration.
In case of over dosage the preferred antidote is a cardio selective beta blocking agent but care should be taken when employing such agents in patients with bronchospasm.
Over dosage may result in hypokalaemia and hence serum potassium levels should be monitored. Symptomatic treatment of other side effects has proven beneficial.
