Asthalin 100mcg Inhaler is a fast-acting bronchodilator (reliever) that contains Salbutamol. It is used to quickly ease breathing difficulty in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The inhaler relaxes the muscles around the airways, helping them open up so air can flow more freely. It provides rapid relief from wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath when symptoms appear or before activities that may trigger breathlessness.
