Description
Sultolin is a bronchodilator indicated for use in asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and other conditions associated with airways obstruction. It contains salbutamol, a synthetic sympathomimetic agent with predominant beta-2 adrenergic activity, which produces bronchodilatation through stimulation of beta-2-adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscles, improving pulmonary function as demonstrated by spirometric measurements. The dosage and administration vary for different formulations including tablets, syrup, respirator solution, nebulizer solution, injection, and inhalation capsules. Sultolin may cause fine tremor of skeletal muscles, palpitations, muscle cramps, tachycardia, tenseness, headaches, and peripheral vasodilatation as side effects. It should be used with caution in patients with hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, occlusive vascular disorders, hypertension, and aneurysms. Storage conditions recommend keeping it below 30°C, away from light & moisture, and out of the reach of children.
