AIROMIR DESCRIPTION
Airomir
Airomir inhaler is manufactured by 3M Pharmaceuticals.
How does Airomir work?
Airomir contains the active ingredient salbutamol, which is a type of medicine known as a short-acting beta 2 agonist. It works by acting on receptors in the lungs called beta 2 receptors. Stimulation of these receptors causes the muscles in the airways to relax, allowing the airways to open.
In conditions where there is narrowing of the airways, such as asthma, emphysema and bronchitis, it is difficult for air to get in and out of the lungs. By opening the airways, Airomir makes it easier to breathe.
Airomir is most commonly taken using an inhaler device. Inhaling the medicine allows it to act directly in the lungs where it is needed most. It also reduces the potential for side effects occurring in other parts of the body, as the amount absorbed into the blood through the lungs is lower than if it is taken by mouth.
Airomir when used as an inhaler is known as a reliever. This is because it works very quickly to relieve asthma attacks or shortness of breath. Airomir inhalers can also be used to open the airways shortly before exercising.
Salbutamol tablets are sometimes prescribed if inhaled salbutamol is being used frequently to relieve shortness of breath. The tablets are taken regularly to help keep the airways open all the time and reduce the need for the inhaler.

Why is Airomir prescribed?
Drugs containing Airomir are prescribed for the prevention and relief of bronchial spasms that narrow the airway. This especially applies to the treatment of asthma. Some brands of this medication are also used for the prevention of bronchial spasm due to exercise.
Most important fact about Airomir
Do not take Airomir more frequently than your doctor recommends. Increasing the number of doses can be dangerous and may actually make symptoms of asthma worse.
If the dose your doctor recommends does not provide relief of your symptoms, or if your symptoms become worse, consult your doctor immediately.
How should you take Airomir?
If you are taking extended-release tablets, swallow them whole with some liquid--never chew or crush them. Shake the inhalation aerosol canister well before using and make sure it's firmly seated in the plastic mouthpiece. Before using it for the first time, prime the canister with 4 sprays into the air away from your face. Prime it with 2 sprays whenever it has not been used for at least 4 days. Use only the adapter that comes with the product; do not use this adapter with any other product. Wash the plastic mouthpiece with warm running water at least once a week to prevent medication buildup and blockage. If you are using an inhalation solution, be sure to protect it from contamination. Keep the tip of the dropper away from the lip of the bottle or any other surface. Do not use the solution if it changes color or becomes cloudy. --If you miss a dose...Take the forgotten dose as soon as you remember; then take any remaining doses for that day at equally spaced intervals. Never take a double dose. --Storage instructions...AccuNeb, Airomir syrup, and Airomir solution for inhalation can be kept in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Airomir aerosol can be stored at temperatures as low as 60 degrees Fahrenheit, but should be at room temperature before use. Protect from excessive heat. Airomir nebules must be used within 2 weeks of being removed from the refrigerator. Store VoSpire tablets at room temperature in a tight, light-resistant container.
