Indication/Uses:

The combination of Salbutamol and Guaifenesin in a syrup form (1mg of Salbutamol and 50mg of Guaifenesin per 5ml) is used to treat and manage respiratory conditions by providing both bronchodilation and expectorant effects. Here are the main indications and uses:

1. Bronchial Asthma:

   • Helps relieve symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness by relaxing the muscles in the airways (Salbutamol) and aiding in the removal of mucus (Guaifenesin).

2. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):

   • Manages symptoms of COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, by improving airflow and reducing respiratory distress.

3. Acute Bronchitis:

   • Provides relief from cough and helps clear mucus from the respiratory tract, easing breathing and reducing coughing fits.

4. Other Respiratory Conditions with Mucus Production:

   • Effective in conditions where bronchospasm and mucus production are present, such as respiratory tract infections and allergies.

Mechanism of Action:

• Salbutamol: A bronchodilator that works by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the lungs, leading to relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and improved airflow.
• Guaifenesin: An expectorant that works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear from the respiratory tract.

Dosage and Administration:

• The typical dosage for adults and children over 12 years is 10ml of syrup (containing 2mg of Salbutamol and 100mg of Guaifenesin) every 6-8 hours.
• For children aged 6-12 years, the usual dose is 5ml of syrup every 6-8 hours.
• For children aged 2-6 years, the dose should be determined by a healthcare professional.

It is important to follow the healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the use of Salbutamol and Guaifenesin syrup to ensure effective and safe management of respiratory conditions.
