THERAPEUTIC INDEX
Elderly
The dosage is the same as that for adults.
Mild tremor and headache have been rarely reported. These usually disappear with continuous treatment. There have been very rare reports of transient muscle cramp. Hypersensitivity reactions including angio-oedema, urticaria, bronchospasm, hypotension and collapse have been reported very rarely.
In the event of previously effective dose of Salbutamol inhaler failing to give relief for at least three hours, the patient should be advised to seek medical advice in order that any necessary additional steps may be taken. It should be administered cautiously to patients suffering from thyrotoxicosis.
As with other inhalation therapy, the potential for paradoxical bronchospasm should be kept in mind. If it occurs, the preparation should be discontinued immediately and alternative therapy should be instituted.
