Buy Ventolin Inhalers for Asthma

Ventolin Inhalers are a type of asthma reliever inhaler. Reliever inhalers (quick relief inhalers) are taken to relieve asthma symptoms quickly. The inhaler usually contains a medicine called a short-acting beta2-agonist and is normally used when you feel the symptoms of asthma coming on. It works by relaxing the muscles surrounding the narrowed airways. This allows the airways to open wider, making it easier to breathe again. Ventolin inhalers are sometimes referred to as blue inhalers.

All our products are genuine UK medicines and are dispensed by our partner pharmacy based in the UK.

About Ventolin Inhalers

Description

Ventolin Inhalers contain a medicine called salbutamol. This belongs to a group of medicines called fast acting bronchodilators. Bronchodilators help the airways in your lungs to stay open. This makes it easier for air to get in and out.

You should also talk to your doctor if your asthma is active (for example you have frequent symptoms or flare ups or limited physical ability). Your doctor may start or increase a medicine to control your asthma such as an inhaled corticosteroid.

Are asthma inhalers harmful to the environment?

Ventolin Inhalers contain a propellant called HFA 134a. This is less harmful to the environment than older inhalers. Older inhalers may taste differently to Ventolin Evohaler. This will make no difference to how your medicine works.
