How It Works

Ventolin Evohaler is a pressurised metered-dose inhaler delivering 100 micrograms of salbutamol per actuation. Salbutamol is a selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist that provides rapid relief from bronchospasm by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways. This action helps to alleviate symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

The inhaler is designed for oral inhalation, allowing the medication to be delivered directly to the lungs where it is needed most. This targeted approach ensures quick onset of action, typically within minutes, and minimizes systemic side effects.

Why Choose Ventolin Evohaler

Ventolin Evohaler is a reliable and effective option for managing acute asthma symptoms and preventing exercise-induced bronchospasm. Its compact and portable design makes it convenient for use at home or on the go. The inhaler delivers a consistent dose with each actuation, ensuring accurate and controlled administration.

Key benefits include:

  • Rapid relief of bronchospasm symptoms

  • Easy-to-use inhaler design

  • Suitable for adults and children over 4 years old

  • Can be used with a spacer device for improved delivery

Ventolin Evohaler is an essential component of asthma management plans, providing quick relief during flare-ups and serving as a preventive measure before exposure to known triggers.
