The therapeutic dose of Proventil has a pronounced stimulating effect on the beta 2-adrenoreceptors of the surface of the bronchi, on the unstriated muscles of the uterus and blood vessels. The drug prevents the release of biologically active substances from mast cells for a long time. It helps to increase the vital capacity of the lungs, prevents the development of bronchial spasms, and if they are present, it stops them quickly. It eliminates resistance in the lumen of the respiratory tract and suppresses the reactivity of the bronchi.
Proventil action
Taking Proventil improves the process of sputum discharge, activates the work of cells of the scintillating epithelium, prevents the formation of bronchospasm of allergic origin. In some cases, it affects the production of insulin and cleavage of glycogen, reduces the level of potassium concentration in the plasma. In patients with bronchial asthma, it often provokes an increase of glucose in the blood and accelerates the breakdown of lipids (this aspect is important in diabetes).
When using the recommended therapeutic doses, it does not have a negative effect on the cardiovascular system, and blood pressure does not increase. The drug causes a slight expansion of the coronary vessels of the heart.
Under the influence of Salbutamol, the coronary arteries of the heart expand, the reactivity of the bronchi is suppressed, and resistance in the respiratory tract decreases. Sputum is removed from the respiratory tract, and the activity of mucus production decreases.
The drug does not cause a decrease in blood pressure and does not have an unnecessarily traumatic effect on the heart, unlike other drugs with similar properties.
Proventil indications
Proventil, in the form of an aerosol, begins to act a few minutes after application. The maximum effectiveness of taking the drug is achieved in about 30 minutes and remains for another hour.
Only a small part of the active component enters the respiratory tract. Its absorption is carried out in the lungs, after which the substance enters the bloodstream.
The main part of the dose settles in the oropharynx and is swallowed. The substance is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Metabolism, with the formation of inactive products, is carried out in the liver. Excretion occurs through the kidneys together with urine.
Taking Proventil unnecessarily can lead to adverse consequences, so it is permissible to use the drug only when prescribed by a doctor.
The main conditions for which you should use an inhaler are:
1. Obstructive syndrome. The drug is necessary for the short-term expansion of the bronchi and getting rid of shortness of breath.
2. Asthma of allergic origin. Thanks to the remedy, it is possible to eliminate bronchospasm and weaken the body's reaction to the stimulus.
3. Bronchitis of chronic type. During chronic bronchitis, there is an inflammatory process in the respiratory tract, which leads to the formation of mucus. The use of Proventil helps to remove it and expand the lumen in the bronchi.
4. Asthmatic bronchitis. The drug helps to get rid of suffocation and reduces the reaction to the stimulus.
5. Emphysema of the lungs. Salbutamol is able to increase the vital capacity of the organ, which facilitates the breathing process.
Children are recommended to use this drug to combat obstructive bronchial syndrome.
However, the main indication for the use of Proventil is bronchial asthma. It is often used in combination with glucocorticosteroids.
The drug can be used for preventive purposes. It helps prevent attacks of suffocation caused by narrowing of the lumen in the bronchi.
The therapeutic effect occurs in the first minutes of the application. The maximum time to achieve the effect is 30-60 minutes, the duration of action is up to three hours. Taking the drug in pills contributes to a more prolonged action (up to 6-8 hours), but the therapeutic effect occurs no earlier than 30 minutes.
- Prevention of possible complications in the form of bronchospasm and its relief in any form of bronchial asthma.
- Obstructive processes (blockage or narrowing of the lumen of the bronchi) of a reversible nature in the respiratory tract in emphysema of the lungs and chronic bronchitis.
- Broncho-obstructive syndrome in childhood.
Preterm birth that threatens the life of the fetus, with the increased contractile function of the uterus, labor activity up to the 37th week of pregnancy, fetal bradycardia at different stages of the birth process, and cervical insufficiency are also direct indications for the use of Proventil. It can be used for the prevention of uterine surgery for pregnant women.
Common use
Proventil is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways and increases air flow to the lungs.
Proventil is used to treat or prevent bronchospasm in people with reversible obstructive airway disease. It is also used to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm.
