Salbutamol
The medicament considered in this article is attributed to preparations of synthetic origin, designed to provide emergency medical care. Salbutamol (Salbutamol) - this drug has anti-inflammatory characteristics and belongs to a group of clinico-pharmacological agents that have bronchodilator and mucolytic properties. Salbutamol is a drug assigned to the group of beta 2 - adrenomimetics.
Any disease affects to a greater or lesser extent the quality of our life. Therefore, in order not to exacerbate the clinical picture, at the first attacks of bronchial asthma with manifestations of bronchospasm, you should immediately seek the advice of a specialist. Not knowing the pharmacodynamics of the drug and its characteristics of interaction with other drugs, one should not engage in self-medication. This attitude towards therapy can turn into serious complications, worsening the patient's condition. Only a qualified specialist on the basis of clinical picture and health and history a patient can draw a really effective and minimally safe protocol of medical therapy. Salbutamol is a high-quality medicine with bronchodilating and mucolytic characteristics that effectively stop or prevent spasms of tissue structure of bronchi. He will improve the patient's condition, returning him to a normal life, but you should not deviate from the recommendations that the doctor gave.
Indications for use Salbutamol
Before starting to develop any drug, it is necessary to imagine what should be indications for the use of Salbutamol, and, accordingly, such pharmacological characteristics should he have.
Therefore, having the necessary chemical and biological characteristics, Salbutamol can be used in the treatment of such pathological diseases:
- Preventive maintenance of spasms of a bronchial asthma at any form of its course.
- Direct relief of suffocating seizures.
- Improvement of the patient's condition in the presence of obstructive processes in the patient's body, which is characterized by narrowing or full overlapping of the passage section of the lumens in the bronchi. Therapy is effective in reversing the process of obstruction.
- Prevention of possible complications of bronchitis.
- Broncho-obstructive syndrome in small patients.
- Emphysema of the lungs - increased airiness of the lung tissue.
- Premature obstetrics, which is associated with a high tone of the contractile activity of the uterus. This pathological failure during pregnancy is a threat to the viability of the fetus. This pathology is especially dangerous if the woman has a gestation less than 37 weeks.
- Reduced number of heartbeats in the newborn in the process of obstetric care at different stages of the birth process.
- Low tone of the functional activity of the cervix. Isthmiko-cervical insufficiency.
- Preventive measures that are carried out immediately before the operative intervention affecting the womb of a woman who at this time is carrying her baby.
Form of issue
Advantageously, Salbutamol, an active active chemical-pharmacological compound, which is salbutamol, like other drugs developed on the basis of this chemical, are presented aerosols. This form of release is one of the most "in demand as it is very convenient and easy to use. The aerosol form has, in addition to the main active chemical compound, fluorotrichloromethane and difluodichloromethane, as well as ethanol and oleic acid.
Salbutamol is produced by the manufacturer in the form of a bottle of aluminum, provided with a protective cap, which simultaneously functions as a dispensing device. To spray the oral cavity and pharynx drug, you just need to press the dispenser and it will "give out" the amount of the drug, which is equal to, mg. That is, mg is a single tap - this is a single dose.
Another form of drug in which this medication is produced is a tablet that, on pharmacy stalls, can be found in two dosages of the active substance: 2 mg or 4 mg per unit medicament. The form of the package at a dosage of 2 mg is a blister of 15 pieces, which are packaged in a cardboard box with two blisters. The form of packaging at a dosage of 4 mg is a bottle of glass.
Much rarer, but still Salbutamol is used and as a solution for injection, which is used for intravenous drip infestations.
Pharmacodynamics
With the correct choice of dosage, Salbutamol effectively activates the work of beta 2-adrenergic receptors located on the surface layer of the bronchial lining. There are such receptors in the muscular tissues of the uterus, as well as they serve the blood vessels.
Farmakodinamika Salbutamol helps block the release of active chemical compounds from mast cells, which occurs for a long period of time.
The action of the medication makes it possible to make a large vital volume of the lungs. This parameter is measured if, with a deep sigh, measure the volume of exhaled without much effort.
Salbutamol helps prevent spasm of the bronchi, and in the event that such an attack occurs, actively, in a matter of minutes, arrest it. The active substance reduces the resistance of the passages in the airways, blocking the bronchial reactivity.
Salbutamol somewhat dilutes the sputum cumulating in the bronchi, facilitating their withdrawal. It allows to stimulate the functioning of the cellular structures of the ciliated epithelium, which prevents provocation of bronchospasm spasm caused by the patient's allergic reaction to external stimulus. At certain factors, the medication is able to influence the synthesis of insulin in the blood (increase in the level glucose) and the fragmentation of glycogen (namely, lipids), which is very important for patients with sugar diabetes. There are situations where the clinical picture on the background of therapy, in which the protocol includes Salbutamol, shows a decrease in the amount of potassium in the patient's blood plasma.
Beta-adrenomimetics, to which the medicinal product belongs, has a direct effect on β2-adrenoreceptors.
Compared with other drugs in this group, Salbutamol does not significantly affect the components of the cardiovascular system. This applies both to inotropic and chronotropic effects. When treating this drug, there is no abnormal change in blood pressure values. Under the influence of this medication, in a few cases a slight increase in the diameter of the coronary vessels of the heart is observed.
This drug works effectively to reduce the tone and intensity of contraction of the myometrium, influencing this organ of the sexual system of a woman tocolytically.
Pharmacokinetics
High efficacy of pharmacokinetics Salbutamol shows that the therapeutic result, in the case of aerosol administration, begins to be observed already during the first minutes of the drug. The maximum effectiveness is achieved after half an hour - an hour from the time of the introduction of the medicine. This indicator directly depends on the individual characteristics of the organism of each particular patient. The effect of the drug, used in the form of an aerosol, is observed for another three hours.
If the form of taking the pill is, this method is more prolonged, and the effectiveness of the clinical picture of the disease can last from six to eight hours. But when taking pills, there are drawbacks, in comparison with aerosol, - the medicinal effect comes only after half an hour after their adoption.
In the case of the appointment of aerosol form of admission, the injected substance is quickly absorbed into the blood, but in this case determined in the study of concentrations of Salbutamol in the patient's blood is not observed or is detected in very small doses.
The active active substance of the medicament in question shows a low percentage (only 10%) of binding to blood proteins. Processes of metabolism of Salbutamol occur in the liver during its primary passage. The main metabolite of the basic chemical compound of the drug is the inactive sulfate conjugate.
The main way to remove the drug is to dispose of metabolites in a larger and unchanged substance to a lesser extent through the kidneys, together with the urine. A small number of them goes to their patient's body along with bile or calves.
The half-life (T1 / 2) of this drug is between two and seven hours. This indicator essentially depends on those characteristics of a state of health which the organism of the patient shows at the moment of therapy.
Use of Salbutamol during pregnancy
If a woman has a period of pregnancy burdened with bronchial asthma, the use of Salbutamol during pregnancy but the medication should be taken with careful adherence to prescribed therapeutic dosages. In this case, the pregnant woman should be under the constant supervision of a doctor - gynecologist, who leads her pregnancy.
Previously, women who had a history of such a diagnosis, to become pregnant and bear a baby was strictly forbidden. Modern women with such problems got the opportunity to become mothers thanks to such a drug as Salbutamol. It effectively prevents the onset or arrest of an already started attack of bronchospasm.
Apply the medication in question and if the pregnant woman has a premature birth process. This is particularly true when the pregnancy is less than 37 weeks. Salbutamol also helps in the case when the doctor diagnoses a future mother with placental insufficiency.
But it should be clearly remembered that the medicament can be prescribed only by the attending doctor and only in a situation where The therapeutic effect when administered to a pregnant woman is significantly more significant than the harm that it can not yet the born child.
To date, there is no reliable data on the effect of salbutamol on fetal development in the early stages of pregnancy. Therefore, the obstetrician-gynecologist prefers to avoid prescribing this medication in the first trimester of pregnancy and with special caution goes to this during the second trimester.
The active ingredient penetrates into the breast milk of a woman unhindered, so if therapy is necessary for a woman at the time when she feeds her newborn baby mother's milk, it is necessary to abandon breastfeeding and transfer the baby to artificial nutrition, the benefit of the modern food market offers a wide range of children's power supply.
Contraindications
The drug in question is a synthetic chemical compound possessing a chemically active substance, which produces an effect on the patient's body. But completely to exclude its influence on other organs and systems it is not possible, especially it concerns a tablet form of drug administration in a sick organism. Therefore, there are
Contraindications to the use of Salbutamol, which are due to:
- The age of the patient. For example, a medicine, in the form of an aerosol, is not allowed to enter babies whose age has not reached two years, whereas up to four years it is forbidden to use its tablet form and powder for inhalations.
- Premature detachment of the placenta in a pregnant woman.
- Individual intolerance to the component components of the drug.
- Threat of miscarriage, which falls on the first or second trimester of bearing a baby.
- Uterine bleeding in the third trimester of pregnancy.
- Late toxicosis.
In other cases during pregnancy, the intake of this medication is under the close scrutiny of the attending physician.
Salbutamol, with particular caution, should be administered to treatment therapy for people who suffer from tachyarrhythmia, as well as those who have an anamnesis which have serious problems in the work of the heart (for example, aortic stenosis, acute heart failure, heart disease, myocarditis). Under the supervision of a doctor, the taking of the medicine in question should also take place if the patient is ill on diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, optic nerve damage (glaucoma), thyrotoxicosis (excess thyroid hormones in organism).
If there is a therapeutic need to reduce the interval between medications (such a step should be is exceptional and clinically justified) or an increase in its dosage, these changes should be adjusted specialist. Admission of medication with a modified protocol of treatment should be carried out under the constant supervision of a doctor.
Against the background of Salbutamol therapy, there were cases when development of hypokalemia was observed. Therefore, during the treatment of bronchial asthma, you should regularly monitor the level of calcium in the patient's blood. The probability of this pathological deviation is higher, the more pronounced the hypoxia.
Side effects of Salbutamol
Taking medication sometimes causes an unpleasant side symptomatology, which in some cases requires immediate cessation of the medication and replacing it with another analog. Either dosage adjustment or symptomatic treatment is performed.
Side effects Salbutamol versatile.
Mostly can occur:
- Tremor of the upper (predominantly) and lower extremities. This symptom is enough for a part of the beta-adrenoreceptor group. Much depends on the dosage of the medicine taken.
- The patient can feel the inner trembling.
- Enhanced palpitations.
- Problems with sleep.
Somewhat less often observed:
- Dizziness.
- Irritability.
- Pain symptomatology affecting the head area.
- Nausea, and with a special intensity and the urge to vomit.
- Increase in the diameter of the passageway of the peripheral vessels of the brain.
- Drowsiness.
- Hyperemia of the skin.
Rarely, but can manifest themselves:
- Angioedema.
- Hallucinations.
- A sharp fall in blood pressure, down to an unconscious state and collapse.
- Attack of bronchial spasm.
- Hypersensitivity and allergic reaction of the body: urticaria, itching, skin rash and others.
- Unstable psychological state.
- Ventricular fibrillation.
- Cardiovascular failure.
- Hypokalemia - a decrease in potassium in the patient's blood.
- Increased hyperactivity in small patients.
- Irritation of the mucous membrane of the mouth and pharynx.
- Supraventricular extrasystole.
- Muscle cramps.
If the patient or his relatives begin to observe the appearance of one or more symptoms from this list, you should immediately notify your doctor about it.
Dosing and Administration
If the patient's anamnesis indicates the need to connect to the therapeutic therapy of the drug Salbutamol, the treating doctor, depending on the pattern of therapy and the patient's condition, he chooses the most effective way of administration and dose medicines.
When prescribing a medicine in the form of an aerosol, one or two doses of the medicine are allowed, which corresponds to one - two clicks on the cap - the dispenser of the aerosol can, respectively. To remove bronchospasm - this is quite enough. If after 10 minutes there is no improvement in the patient's condition, then another dose of the drug is allowed in the same dosage. Then it is necessary to maintain an interval in inhalations not less than four to six hours (it is better, if possible, to sustain six). The number of inhalations during the day should not exceed six procedures.
When prescribing a drug in the form of tablets, as a bronchodilator, adults and adolescents who are already 12 years, the recommended dose is 2 to 4 mg (one tablet, taking into account the concentration of the active substance) administered orally three to four times during days.
With therapeutic need, the amount of the drug can be increased to 8 mg (4 tablets with a 2 mg dose or 2 tablets with a 4 mg dosage) administered four times throughout the day. Hence, the maximum daily amount of a drug that a patient can take for one day is 32 mg.
Small patients, the age of which falls in the interval from six to 12 years, it is recommended to take 2 mg (one tablet) three to four doses throughout the day, to babies from two to six - 1 to 2 mg three times throughout days.
As a tocolytic agent Salbutamol is administered intravenously at a dose of 1 to 2 mg.
Overdose
If the recommended dose of the drug taken was violated, or in view of the individual characteristics of the patient's organism and its anamnesis, administration of Salbutamol may result in an overdose of the drug exhibiting its symptomatology.
When taking medication in the form of tablets, you can expect such pathological manifestations:
- Appearance of rapid heart rate.
- Failure in the work of the heart rate.
- Convulsions.
- Pathological changes in blood pressure indicators: both in the direction of a sharp increase, and in the direction of a rapid decrease in these values.
- Dizziness.
- Insomnia.
- Tremor of the upper extremities.
- Pain symptomatology in the heart.
- The risk of hypokalemia is high.
Excess of active substance in the patient's body after taking the drug in the form of an aerosol can cause excessive stimulation of b-adrenergic receptors, as well as symptomatology similar to the above higher.
Therapeutic therapy, when there are signs of an overdose, consists of several points.
- Abolition of the medication that caused the emergence of secondary symptoms.
- Carrying out measures for the provision of first aid: washing the stomach, introducing adsorption materials (for example, activated carbon).
- Purpose of appropriate symptomatic therapy. The victim is given an antidote, a medicine that belongs to the group of drugs of cardioselective b-blockers. But all these medicines must be attributed very carefully, especially if there is a pathology such as bronchospasm in the patient's medical history.
- If it is necessary to continue treatment of the underlying disease, another drug with bronchodilator and mucolytic properties is attributed, but has several other characteristics. The dosage of the drug is also adjusted.
- Due to the fact that against the background of taking Salbutamol may develop a severe form of hypokalemia, regular monitoring of the quantitative component of potassium in the blood serum is necessary.
Interactions with other drugs
Some people do not even think when against the background of one treatment, they start taking drugs of a different pharmacological orientation. For example, we treat bronchitis, grabbed the stomach, a person, without hesitation, begins to independently drink drugs from the gastric pathology. And then start to wonder that there is another pathological symptomatology or therapeutic effectiveness is weak.
Therefore, before prescribing a specific drug, it is necessary to know the interactions of Salbutamol with other drugs to prevent the development of additional pathological symptoms.
Non-cardioselective beta-blockers, the pharmacodynamics of which are aimed at stenocardia, in parallel with the drug in question they act mutually, that is, when they are jointly administered, the expected therapeutic effectiveness, both in the treatment of one and the other disease, is not comes.
Simultaneous reception of Salbutamol and theophylline leads to an increase in the likelihood of developing such negative manifestations as a failure in the heart rate and an increase in the heart rate.
If in parallel, in one treatment protocol, there are glucocorticosteroids and Salbutamol, you can expect the development of hypokalemia. A similar result is obtained when the drug is administered jointly with diuretics, that is, their combined use can lead to a sharp drop in the level of potassium in the blood patient.
Considering the fact that the medicine prescribed for relief of bronchospasm spasms irritatively affects the sympathetic nervous system, patients whose history is burdened epileptic attacks, ocular nerve damage (glaucoma), pathological changes affecting the organs of the cardiovascular system, as well as in hyperthyroidism (endocrinological syndrome caused by hyperfunction of the thyroid gland), against the background of the main treatment, with special care it is necessary to prescribe the method of taking and dosage Salbutamol.
It should also be noted that in case the reception of the drug in question does not bring the expected result or its the action extends to less than three hours, in such a situation it is necessary to inform your attending physician the doctors.
Storage conditions
When buying this medication, it is necessary to pay attention to the storage conditions of Salbutamol, in a home environment. After all, on how well the recommendations given in the instructions attached to the drug are kept, the quality depends persistent pharmacological properties that must respond to the properties attached to it throughout the therapeutic period.
There are several such recommendations:
- Keep the medicine in a cool place where the room temperature does not exceed + 25 ° C.
- The room where Salbutamol should be stored should be dry.
- The storage location should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
- Throughout the operational period, it is necessary to protect the spray can (with the aerosol form of drug administration) from falling and deforming the package.
- The drug should not be available to young children.
Shelf life
After purchasing a drug, it is necessary to get acquainted with the timing of the drug and especially pay attention to the end date of effective operation, which must necessarily be reflected on the packaging of any goods. If this date is overdue, the medicine in question should not be used in the future. The shelf life of the salbutamol in question, depending on the manufacturer who produced the drug on the pharmaceutical market, can range from one and a half to four years.

Salbutamol - analogues
SalbutamolIs a synthetic drug used mainly in the treatment of diseases of the respiratory system, including for the provision of emergency medical care. Let's consider, at what diagnoses this preparation is recommended, how it works, and whether Salbutamol has analogues.
Indications for taking SalbutamolThe medicine is prescribed for cupping and preventing bronchospasm on the background of bronchial asthma, and also if there are:
- emphysema of the lungs;
- chronic obstructive pulmonary disease;
- Chronical bronchitis.
Also, the drug is used in gynecological and obstetrical practice with the threat of premature birth on background of severe uterine contraction, with a decrease in fetal heart rate during cervical dilatation and other
Composition, Form Release and Therapeutic Effect of SalbutamolThe main active substance of the drug is salbutamol sulfate. Most often, Sulbatamol is used in the form of an inhalation aerosol, but there are also such dosage forms, as tablets for oral administration, solution and powder for solution for infusion, solution for inhalations.
Upon penetration into the body, the drug has the following pharmacological action:
- bronchodilator effect (relaxation of the smooth muscles of the bronchi);
- reduction of resistance in the airways;
- increase in the vital capacity of the lungs;
- inhibition of bronchial reactivity (early and late);
- stimulation of mucus production and alleviation of sputum;
- expansion of the coronary arteries;
- tocolytic action (decrease in tone and contractile activity of the muscular tissue of the uterus).
Patients with diabetes should take into account that taking the drug often provokes an increase in glucose in the blood and speeds up the splitting of lipids. With inhalation, Salbutamol begins to act after five minutes, the effect lasts about 3-6 hours.
How to replace Salbutamol?
Let's list some analogues of Salbutamol in the form of an aerosol, the composition of which is based on the same active substance:
- Ventolin;
- Salvobent;
- Astalin;
- Aloprole;
- Ekoven;
- Bronchovaleas and others.
The listed preparations have the same composition and action, i.e. are completely interchangeable. Therefore, choosing, for example, which is better - Salbutamol or Ventolin, one can be guided by individual preferences.
Which is better - Salbutamol, Berodual or Berotek?
Berodual is a preparation based on ipratropium bromide and fenoterol hydrobromide. Berotek - a medicine, the active substance of which is fenoterola hydrobromide. Both of these drugs, like Salbutamol, are bronchodilators and have similar indications. However, each of them acts on the body in different ways, they are characterized by different duration of the therapeutic effect and the time of its achievement. Therefore, the expediency of using this or that remedy can only be determined by a doctor.

Aerosol Salbutamol
If you suffer from chronic bronchitis or asthma, the doctor will probably recommend that you buy Salbutamol Aerosol, which will eliminate unpleasant sensations.
Aerosol composition Salbutamol
The drug is a bronchodilator with a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. The main substance that is part of the drug is salbutamol. At 100 mg of the drug is 725 mg of this drug. The auxiliary components are:
- cetyl oleate;
- fluorotrichloromethane;
- difluodichloromethane;
- oleic acid;
- ethanol.
Mechanism of action of Salbutamol
Salbutamol for inhalation stimulates beta2-adrenergic receptors of the bronchial surface, as well as blood vessels. It prevents the release of biologically active substances from the mast cells. Its action is quite long. Also, the drug increases the vital capacity of the lungs and prevents spasms of the bronchi. If they are observed in the patient, then the drug is able to stop the attack. The use of the drug stimulates a better separation of sputum, improves the work of cells of the ciliated epithelium. The drug prevents the release of histamine. When it is used, there is practically no decrease in blood pressure.
Due to the fact that the components of the drug are rapidly absorbed into tissues and blood, its effect is felt immediately after use. The greatest relief can come in 30-60 minutes. The effect lasts up to three hours.
Who recommends Salbutamol aerosol?
Salbutamol has indications for use as follows:
- obstructive processes (obstruction or narrowing of the lumen of the bronchi with emphysema of the lungs and bronchitis);
- bronchial asthma.
Quite often aerosol is used by patients with asthmatic bronchitis, as well as those who need to stop bronchospasm.
Thanks to the expansion of the respiratory tract and the filling of the lungs, the tissues and the bronchi themselves are restored. Interaction with other drugsIt is worth saying that the aerosol for inhalation Salbutamol is not recommended to combine with non-selective beta-adrenoreceptor blockers, for example, propranolol.
Theophylline and xanthines can cause tachyarethmia, and the means for inhalation anesthesia are severe ventricular arrhythmias. Aerosol components can enhance the action of stimulants of the central nervous system, while thyroid hormones can affect the condition of the heart. It should be careful with the simultaneous administration of anticholinergic drugs, since this can provoke an increase in intraocular pressure.

Inhalation with bronchitis, laryngitis - steam inhalations, nebulizer
In the treatment of bronchitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheobronchitis, bronchial asthma, acute, chronic, obstructive bronchitis in adults and children in the composition of complex therapy is very effective to use various inhalations of drugs, special solutions, medicinal herbs.
It is especially convenient to carry out inhalations with bronchitis using an ultrasonic inhaler - a nebulizer, a compressor inhaler, which in pharmacy networks have a wide choice.
The peculiarity of their use is that not all of them can use oily and herbal solutions, but only purified special pharmacy medicinal solutions or mineral water.
So, there are 2 ways of carrying out inhalations:
- With the help of special devices - inhalers, nebulizers (ultrasonic type, compressor, combined)
- Steam inhalations - with the help of a container and hot medicinal solution or with a kettle with a paper funnel, put on a teapot spout.
The main task of inhalation therapy in the treatment of diseases of the respiratory system:
- liquefaction of the larynx, pharynx, nose
- airway mucosa
- when using drugs - bronchodilator effect, expectorant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, decongestant
- improvement of blood supply and microcirculation of the mucosa - this helps in the early regeneration of tissues
Important! In the presence of inflammatory processes of purulent nature - angina, sinusitis, sinusitis, apply hot steam Inhalation is not possible, because in purulent processes, warming promotes faster growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Steam inhalations can be used only with prolonged runny nose, pharyngitis (without purulent foci), laryngitis.
Steam inhalation with bronchitis, laryngitis - pro and contra
There comes a cold, rainy weather, and most of the young children and weakened adults - catch a cold and catch a viral infection. As a result - a runny nose, sore throat, bronchitis, laryngitis and other respiratory diseases.
Steam inhalations are the oldest and most popular form of inhalation, but it should be used only on recommendations doctor, because in all cases the positive effect of their use will exceed the adverse consequences, because the:
- With inflammation of the respiratory tract, the vessels are dilated, that is, the outflow of blood is slowed, and the influx is increased, which is manifested by nasal congestion, swelling of the larynx, pharynx. Hot steam with inhalation moisturizes and warms the mucous membrane, which of course contributes to the liquefaction of mucus and its better separation, but, as a rule, not for long. As after heating, the vessels expand, which increases the swelling, loosening the mucosa.
- The heating and looseness of the inflamed tissues and mucous membrane in turn can provoke the multiplication of pathogenic bacteria and their penetration into the deeper parts of the respiratory system.
There are some rules - common for any inhalation, these are:
- Begin inhalation only after half an hour after physical exertion.
- The procedure should last at least 5-10 minutes, but not more.
- Do not inhale immediately after meals, preferably 1-2 hours after eating, it is natural to talk neither during inhalation, nor after it for half an hour. Also, immediately after the procedure, you can not drink or eat.
- With laryngitis, inhalation should be done through the mouth, and exhaled through the nose.
- Breathe should be as calm, free, not deep.
- Do not use inhalation with laryngitis, bronchitis over boiling medicinal solution.
- If you are prescribed several medicines for inhalation, the following rules should be observed:
- First, bronchodilators
- After 15 minutes, expectorants
- When the sputum is gone - antiseptic and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Steam inhalation with herbs, garlic, onions
It should be very careful when carrying out steam inhalations from medicinal herbs, essential oils, especially in children, since it is possible to develop allergic reactions, bronchospasm. People prone to allergies (pollinosis) and individual sensitivity to other irritants, apply herbs and essential oils for inhalations is not advisable, and even dangerous.
In conventional ultrasonic and compression inhalers, decoctions of herbs can not be used, however, in an inhaler, the Dolphin F1000 it is allowed to use them with the proviso that the broth will be pre-filtered well and use a sprayer Rapid Flay 2 »RF2.
- For steam inhalation with medicinal herbs, such as: chamomile, sage, St. John's wort, calendula, raspberry leaves, Ledum marsh, peppermint, leaves of mother-and-stepmother, leaves of eucalyptus, juniper, oregano, pine buds, you first have to make a decoction, give him half an hour, then add to the infusion of boiling water and pour the solution into a small capacity. Breathe should be covered with a large towel.
- You can use a teapot for steam inhalation, the water in which does not reach the beginning of the neck, but breathe directly over the neck of the kettle, putting on it a paper cone for inhaling medicinal vapors. Breathe should be exactly as usual, without taking too deep breaths.
- You can also add a little chopped garlic or onions to the inhalation solution. They contain many phytoncides, natural antiseptics, these are natural medicinal antimicrobial agents.
- Effective inhalation with saline solutions - 3 tbsp. tablespoons sea salt / liter of water. And also 1 hour. spoon of baking soda on a glass of boiling water.
- In the absence of allergies, essential oils can be used - pine oil, Altai and Himalayan cedar oil, eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil, juniper oil, thuya oil, but only 3-5 drops should be added glass of water.
Dry inhalation of sea salt
If in the stupa finely grind sea salt, heat it in a frying pan, then pour hot powder into a small container - you can also breathe over such salt powder, periodically mixing it. This dry salt inhalation is very effective for bronchitis and any cough.
Inhalation with a dry cough or cough with a viscous, difficult to separate sputum
- The collection includes: 15 grams of elderberry flowers, mullein flowers scepeter-like. Pour the floor with a liter of boiling water, insist an hour, filter.
- In the composition: 1 gram of thermopsis grass, 20 grams of primrose leaves, poured a glass of boiling water, insist hour, filter.
- In the composition: 10 grams of leaves of mother-and-stepmother, plantain, ledum, also filled with a glass of boiling water, insisted for an hour, filtered.
- In the composition: 25 grams of chamomile, the kidneys of pine, the floor is filled with a liter of boiling water, it is insisted for one hour, filtered.
- In the composition: 10 grams of chamomile, licorice, sage, eucalyptus leaf, string, calendula, pour the mixture with a glass of boiling water, leave in a thermos for 2 hours.
Inhalation with nebulizer for bronchitis
How to do inhalation with bronchitis? It is best to use nebulizers that create aerosols from medicines without raising the temperature of the solution. There are different models of such devices that differ in particle size in an aerosol cloud:
- Srednodispersny aerosol - it is used for inhalation in bronchitis, bronchial asthma, for the treatment of pneumonia. Particle size 2-4 microns, they are able to penetrate deeply into the lower respiratory tract, without lingering in the upper ones.
- Large-dispersed aerosol - used for tracheitis, laryngitis, for the treatment of common cold and pharyngitis. The particle size is 5-20 microns, so they do not penetrate into the deep parts of the respiratory system, but concentrate on the mucous upper tracts - trachea, nose, pharynx.
To date, ready-made dosage forms have proved to be well suited for inhalations with laryngitis or bronchitis alone at home under the recommendation of a doctor, if there is a home inhaler. Such means include:
- Inhalation by Lazalvan(Ambroxol) and Ambrobene
Lazolvan - a very effective tool, which includes hydrochloride Ambroxol, he Helps liquefy sputum, making it less viscous, which helps the bronchial mucosa rather from it get rid.
They are used for acute and chronic bronchitis for inhalations, for children over 6 years and for adults 3 ml for each inhalation 2 r / day, for children 2-6 years, 2 ml of solution, for children under 2 years, 1 ml.
To create an inhalation solution, the drug is diluted with saline 1/1, such inhalations can not be done more than 5 days, and also combine with taking antitussive drugs - Libexin, Codeine, Sinekod - instruction, Broncholitin and others. The use of Ambroxol is more effective than Ambrobene, and both drugs improve the absorption of antibiotics.
- Inhalation with mineral water
Weakly alkaline waters such as Borjomi, Narzan moisturize the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract from the oropharynx to the smallest bronchi, dilute the bronchial secretion and soften the catarrhal phenomena, so they are well used for inhalations in bronchitis and children, and adults. To make 1 inhalation, you do not need 4 ml mineral water, you can do the procedure 4 times a day.
- Inhalation ACS Injection and Fluimucil
It is used when the sputum is removed from the lower respiratory tract, to facilitate the departure of the mucous secretion in the upper respiratory tract. Dosages for babies 2-6 years 1-2 ml. 1-2 r / day, children 6-12 years - 2 ml., Over 12 years and adults 3 ml of ATSTS solution for 1 inhalation, also 2 times a day. Dilute the drug should be 1/1 with saline, do not inhale for more than 10 days.
