Vental Respiratory Spray is a biologic medication used by inhalation to provide fast and effective relief from respiratory symptoms associated with conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other conditions characterized by obstruction or narrowing of the airways. Vental belongs to a class of medications called short-acting beta2-agonists (SABAs). These medications quickly dilate the airways in the lungs, facilitating airflow and relieving uncomfortable symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing. Vental Respiratory Spray is an essential part of the treatment plans for many individuals suffering from these respiratory conditions.
Active Ingredients in Vental Respiratory Spray
Vental Respiratory Spray contains the following active ingredients:
Salbutamol: Also known as albuterol in some countries. It is a selective agonist of beta2-adrenergic receptors located in the smooth muscles of the airways. When inhaled, salbutamol binds to these receptors, activating them and thus relaxing the smooth muscles and dilating the airways. Salbutamol typically begins to work within a few minutes and lasts for 4 to 6 hours.
Available Strengths
Vental Respiratory Inhaler is commonly available in a strength of 100 micrograms of salbutamol per actuation. This strength is considered standard and provides an adequate dose for acute symptom relief. Different pack sizes containing a specific number of actuations may be available.
Vental Respiratory Inhaler Indications
Vental Respiratory Inhaler is primarily used for the following conditions:
Relief of acute asthma symptoms: Provides rapid relief from sudden asthma attacks characterized by shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness. It is used as a "rescue" medication when needed to relieve these symptoms.
Prevention of exercise-induced asthma symptoms: Fental can be used 15-20 minutes before exercise to help prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.
Prevention of allergen-induced asthma symptoms: It can be used before potential exposure to known allergens (such as animal dander or dust) to help prevent an asthma attack. Treating other airway obstruction symptoms: It can help relieve symptoms of shortness of breath and wheezing in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other conditions that cause airway obstruction. However, in cases of COPD, other long-acting medications are often needed as part of regular treatment.
