Below are mentioned Warnings and Precautions associated with Asthalin Inhaler use.
Paradoxical Bronchospasm:
Inhaled Albuterol sulphate can produce paradoxical bronchospasm, which can be life-threatening. In case, paradoxical bronchospasm occurs, Asthalin Inhaler should be discontinued immediately and alternative therapy instituted.
Cardiovascular Effects
Asthalin HFA , like all other beta-adrenergic agonists, can produce clinically significant cardiovascular effects in certain patients as measured by pulse rate, blood pressure, and/or symptoms. Although such effects are rare after administration of Albuterol Sulphate Inhaler at recommended doses, in case they occur, use of Asthalin Inhaler may need to be stopped.
Deterioration of Asthma
Asthma could deteriorate acutely over a period of hours or chronically over several days or longer. If the patient needs more doses of Asthalin than usual, this may be a symptom of destabilization of asthma and requires re-evaluation of the patient and treatment regimen.
Use of Anti-Inflammatory Agents
The use of beta-adrenergic agonist bronchodilators alone may not be sufficient to control asthma in many patients. Consideration should be given to this as soon as possible and the possibility of adding anti-inflammatory agents, e.g., corticosteroids, to the therapeutic regimen.
Do Not Exceed Recommended Dose
Deaths have been reported in association with excessive use of inhaled sympathomimetic medicines in patients with asthma. The exact cause of death is not known, but cardiac arrest following an unexpected development of a severe acute asthmatic crisis and subsequent hypoxia is suspected.
