Asthalin Syrup contains Salbutamol, a bronchodilator used to relieve symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It helps ease coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness by relaxing the muscles around the airways. The liquid form is convenient for those who prefer oral medication or need measured dosing. When taken as prescribed, it widens the air passages so breathing becomes easier and daily activities feel more comfortable.
