What is Asthma?
Asthma is a common lung condition that causes occasional breathing difficulties.
It affects people of all ages and often starts in childhood, although it can also develop for the first time in adults.
There’s currently no cure, but there are simple treatments that can help keep the symptoms under control so it doesn’t have a big impact on your life.
Symptoms
The main symptoms of asthma are:
● Wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing) ● Breathlessness ● A tight chest, which may feel like a band is tightening around it ● Coughing
The symptoms can sometimes get temporarily worse. This is known as an asthma attack.
Several conditions can cause similar symptoms, so it’s important to get a proper diagnosis and correct treatment.
Your GP will usually be able to diagnose asthma by asking about symptoms and carrying out some simple tests.
Treatments
The main types are:
● Reliever inhalers – used when needed to quickly relieve asthma symptoms (salbutamol) ● Preventer inhalers (steroid) – used every day to prevent asthma symptoms occurring ● Some people also need to take tablets.
Causes and triggers
Asthma is caused by swelling (inflammation) of the breathing tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. This makes the tubes highly sensitive, so they temporarily narrow.
It may occur randomly or after exposure to a trigger. Common asthma triggers include:
● Allergies – to house dust mites, animal fur or pollen, for example ● Smoke, pollution and cold air ● Exercise ● Infections like colds or flu ● Identifying and avoiding your asthma triggers can help you keep your symptoms under control

Salbutamol (Ventolin) is a medication used to treat the symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Salbutamol works by relaxing the muscles in the airways of the lungs, thereby helping to relieve symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing and chest tightness. The recommended dosage of Salbutamol is typically inhalation once daily, which can be adjusted as needed to suit individual needs based on response and tolerability. The medication may be administered by mouth as tablets or capsules, and is available in both powder form and liquid form. Salbutamol is available in both powder and liquid form to help relieve asthma symptoms and improve airflow to the lungs.
Salbutamol belongs to a class of medications known as bronchodilators, which are used in the management of asthma and other conditions when other medications fail. The most commonly prescribed doses of Salbutamol are inhalation once daily, which can be adjusted to suit individual needs based on response and tolerability.
The action of Salbutamol in the body is based on its ability to relax muscles in the airways of the lungs. This allows air to flow more easily through them and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. This results in symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath and coughing. Salbutamol helps to relieve symptoms by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe.
Like any medication, Salbutamol is associated with potential side effects. These may include:
In rare cases, Salbutamol can cause serious side effects such as liver problems or a condition called allergic rhinitis, which require immediate medical attention.

Ventolin Diskus is a medication used to treat breathing problems in adults and children. It's also approved for use in children 18 years and older.
It contains the active ingredient salbutamol, which belongs to a class of drugs called salicylates. Salbutamol works by relaxing muscles in the airway passages, helping to improve breathing rates. It can also reduce symptoms of breathing problems like tightness in the chest and shortness of breath.

Salbutamol sulfate drugs work similarly to prescription drugs and are commonly used to treat asthma and other lung conditions.
Ventolin Diskus works by blocking the enzyme beta-2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs. This helps to widen the airways and increase airflow, thereby reducing symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
Ventolin Diskus must be taken with you each day for breathing to work effectively. Do not take more than the recommended dose of Ventolin Diskus sulfate at a time.
