About Asthalin:

This is a prescription drug and can only be purchased under doctor’s orders. Asthalin 2mg belongs to a class of drugs referred to as short-acting beta-2 agonists. This class of drugs acts on the adrenergic receptor in the brain to relax smooth muscles. This causes the bronchial passages to dilate as well as the liver muscles, uterine muscles and causes insulin release into the bloodstream.

How to use Asthalin

Each tablet contains 2 mg of Asthalin among other inactive ingredients. They are administered orally (through swallowing) to relieve asthma symptoms, emphysema, bronchitis and COPD. Use Asthalin tablets as prescribed by the doctor. The tablets can also be taken to provide quick relief when you experience breathing attacks. Asthalin 2 mg tablets should be taken twice a day with a glass of water. You can take them before or after a meal. The common dosage is 8 mg administered every 12 hours for either adults or children. Some patients and children below 12 years will benefit from a 4mg daily dosage.

Asthalin Dosage

The doctor will alter the dosage according to your condition, age and weight. For example, children between ages 6 and 12 should not take more than 24 mg of Asthalin in a day while those between 12 and 18 should not exceed 32 mg. Follow the dosage until it is over and don’t stop taking the tablets when the effects subside. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember and continue with the regular dosage the next day.
