What is Asthalin Rotacaps 200 mcg
Asthalin Rotacaps 200 mcg is a prescription medicine used to quickly relieve Asthma, Bronchitis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) symptoms. It is manufactured by Cipla Ltd. under strict WHO-GMP standards and is recognized as an essential reliever medication globally.
Each capsule contains FDA-approved Salbutamol, a drug belonging to the selective Short-Acting Beta-Adrenergic agonist (SABA) class. Available only for inhalation use, Asthalin targets the lungs directly for immediate relief from bronchospasm.
Common side effects of Asthalin Rotacaps include tremors, headache, palpitations, increased heart rate, muscle cramps, and cough, which subside with use. Patients with diabetes, or thyroid disorders, as well as pregnant and nursing women, should seek medical advice.
Asthalin can raise blood sugar levels and lower potassium levels in the blood (Hypokalemia). Low potassium can cause muscle weakness or abnormal heartbeat. Thus, it should be used with caution in those with cardiovascular issues. Likewise, patients with overactive thyroid glands must monitor readings closely and inform their doctor of changes, if any.
What are the benefits of Asthalin Rotacaps 200 mcg
Salbutamol binds to beta2 receptors in the bronchial smooth muscles and relaxes them. This widens the airways, allowing easier airflow and immediate relief from breathlessness, wheezing, or tightness in the chest. Additionally, Asthalin Rotacaps helps prevent exercise-induced symptoms or flare-ups after allergen exposure.
Its pharmacological benefits include:
- Rapid relief: It acts within minutes to ease sudden Asthma, Bronchitis and COPD symptoms.
- Direct delivery to lungs: It works faster than oral medicines and steroids as it gets delivered directly to lungs. This minimizes systemic side effects.
- Device convenience: Rotacaps with Rotahaler are easier for patients who struggle with coordination needed for a Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI).
This allows patients to perform daily activities without constant breathlessness.
How to use Asthalin Rotacaps 200 mcg
Asthalin Rotacaps are for inhalation only and are not to be swallowed. Follow these steps for safely taking the medicine:
- Insert one capsule into Cipla’s Rotahaler or Revolizer.
- Twist to puncture until you hear a click.
- Inhale deeply through your mouth, not your nose, until the powder is fully inhaled.
- Hold your breath for up to 10 seconds, then exhale slowly.
- After inhalation, rinse your mouth and spit out or brush your teeth to prevent throat irritation.
- Use only during symptoms or before exertion.
- Try taking them after food to decrease the headache side effect.

FAQs
Is Asthalin Rotacaps for Asthma or COPD?
Asthalin Rotacaps (Salbutamol/Albuterol) effectively treat symptoms of both Asthma and COPD. They provide quick relief from airway constriction which allows for easier breathing during episodes of bronchospasm associated with both these lung diseases. However, long-term COPD often requires additional support like Medrol.
How long will it take for Asthalin rotacaps to relieve my symptoms?
Asthalin Rotacaps usually relieve symptoms within a few minutes of inhalation, allowing you to breathe easier shortly after use. The effects can last several hours, but if your symptoms do not improve, consult your healthcare provider promptly.
How many Rotacaps can I take per day?
Use only as needed to ease the symptoms. Always follow your doctor’s advice for Asthalin dosage and frequency. Rotacaps are usually prescribed 1 to 2 times every 4-6 hours, but not exceeding 4 doses in 24 hours.
Is Asthalin Rotacaps a steroid?
No, Asthalin Rotacaps contain Salbutamol which is a SABA bronchodilator and not a steroid. It provides quick relief by opening airways, but does not treat inflammation like steroids (Medrol). For long-term or chronic management of pulmonary disorders, a separate preventer steroid or inhaler may be prescribed.
Can I take Asthalin every day?
Asthalin is a reliever, not a controller, so it can be used as needed for symptom relief. However, daily or frequent use should only be under medical supervision.
What if I take higher than the recommended dose of Asthalin Rotacaps?
Exceeding the prescribed dose can cause symptoms like tremors, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, headache, and, in rare cases, seizures, irregular heart rhythms or Hypokalemia. Contact your doctor immediately if you overdose or experience these symptoms.
Can I smoke if I have been prescribed Asthalin Rotacaps?
No, smoking worsens lung conditions and reduces the effectiveness of Asthalin Rotacaps. Avoid exposure to cigarette smoke and environmental pollutants to manage your breathing issues better.
What are the rare side effects of Albuterol Rotacaps?
Rare side effects include severe allergic reactions, very low potassium, muscle cramps, or irregular heartbeat. Immediately seek medical attention if you experience swelling, rash, chest pain, or fainting.
Which is better Rotacaps or inhalers?
Both rotacaps and inhalers deliver the same medication. Evidence shows that 400 mcg Rotacap delivers the same results as a 200 mcg metered-dose inhaler for bronchodilation. The choice thus depends on individual patient comfort and the doctor’s recommendation.
