What is an Asthalin 2 mg tablet

Asthalin 2 mg tablet is a prescription medication manufactured by Cipla Ltd, designed to manage respiratory conditions like Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It contains Salbutamol (2mg), a fast-acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles around narrowed airways, easing breathing difficulties such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

Salbutamol targets beta-2 receptors in the lungs, stimulating them to open the bronchial tubes. This allows more air to flow into the lungs, providing quick relief during Asthma attacks or COPD flare-ups. When taken before physical activity, it also prevents exercise-induced bronchospasms.

Available in tablet form, Asthalin 2 is taken orally, typically 1-2 tablets up to four times daily, as prescribed. It works within 15–30 minutes, with effects lasting 4–6 hours. Consistent use helps improve lung function and reduces the frequency of severe attacks, making it a key part of long-term Asthma management plans.

Keep the tablets below 30°C in a dry place. Avoid crushing or chewing them—swallow them whole with water.

Avoid overuse, as it may lead to tremors or rapid heartbeat.

Asthalin 2 is not a cure but a reliable tool for managing symptoms. Always follow your doctor's guidance for optimal results and carry the medication for emergency use.
