Description

How Does Ventolin Evohaler Work?

Asthma results from inflammation of the tubes that connect the windpipe to the lungs, known as bronchi. Swelling causes the airway passages to contract. It also increases the production of phlegm, which obstructs the airways further. This leads to symptoms including COPD, coughing, and tightness of the chest. 

Ventolin blue inhaler works by opening up the airways to flow from the chest to the lungs. This process offers to relieve asthma symptoms within a short duration. It is an excellent reliever for mild asthma. Ventolin works pre-emptively before you exercise or encounter an allergen.

FAQs

How do I know my asthma is controlled?

If you use your blue Ventolin inhaler more than 3-4 times a week, your asthma may not be well controlled. Consult your GP and schedule an asthma review for better management.

 

Do I need a spacer?

A spacer improves the effectiveness of your inhaler as it helps it reach deeper into the lungs and less medicine is wasted in the mouth. It can only be used on certain inhalers such as metred dose inhalers (MDI). Ventolin is a MDI and can be used in combination with a spacer 

 

How do I clean my inhaler?

You should clean your inhaler once a week. To do this:

  • Remove the metal canister and mouthpiece cover
  • Rinse the plastic casing thoroughly under warm running water 
  • Dry the plastic casing thorougly inside and out 
  • Replace the metal canister and mouthpiece cover
  • Do not put the metal canister in water
