What is Asthma?
Asthma is a common lung condition that causes occasional breathing difficulties.
It affects people of all ages and often starts in childhood, although it can also develop for the first time in adults.
There’s currently no cure, but there are simple treatments that can help keep the symptoms under control so it doesn’t have a big impact on your life.
Symptoms
The main symptoms of asthma are:
● Wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing) ● Breathlessness ● A tight chest, which may feel like a band is tightening around it ● Coughing
The symptoms can sometimes get temporarily worse. This is known as an asthma attack.
Several conditions can cause similar symptoms, so it’s important to get a proper diagnosis and correct treatment.
Your GP will usually be able to diagnose asthma by asking about symptoms and carrying out some simple tests.
Treatments
The main types are:
● Reliever inhalers – used when needed to quickly relieve asthma symptoms (salbutamol) ● Preventer inhalers (steroid) – used every day to prevent asthma symptoms occurring ● Some people also need to take tablets.
Causes and triggers
Asthma is caused by swelling (inflammation) of the breathing tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. This makes the tubes highly sensitive, so they temporarily narrow.
It may occur randomly or after exposure to a trigger. Common asthma triggers include:
● Allergies – to house dust mites, animal fur or pollen, for example ● Smoke, pollution and cold air ● Exercise ● Infections like colds or flu ● Identifying and avoiding your asthma triggers can help you keep your symptoms under control
Side Effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. The following side effects may happen with this medicine:
Allergic Reactions (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people)
If you have an allergic reaction, stop taking Ventolin Evohaler and see a doctor straight away.
Talk to your doctor as soon as possible if you feel your heart is beating faster or stronger than usual (palpitations). This is usually harmless, and usually stops after you have used the medicine for a while. You may feel your heartbeat is uneven or it gives an extra beat, these may affect up to 1 in 10 people.

Allergic reactions may also occur with some inhalers and others. This is called a anaphylactic reaction. Your doctor will do some tests to make sure any of the above is correct and will prescribe the right medicine.
If you have a can you use inhaler?
To use an inhaler, hold your breath for a few seconds. If you have one, exhale and try to breathe in all of your inspired air. If it doesn’t work, try using the non-inhaler Ventolin Evohaler in addition to your inhaler?
To use an inhaler you will usually exhale two to three times a minute. This is called counterhalation. You may use the inhaler for this for four or five minutes.

Salbutamol (Ventolin) is a selective beta2-adrenoceptor agonist indicated for the treatment or prevention of bronchospasm. It provides short acting (four hours) bronchodilation in reversible airways obstruction due to asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Bronchodilators should not be the only or main treatment in patients with persistent asthma. In patients with persistent asthma unresponsive to Salbutamol (Ventolin), treatment with inhaled corticosteroids is recommended to achieve and maintain control. Failing to respond to treatment with Salbutamol (Ventolin) may signal a need for urgent medical advice or treatment.Nebules:Salbutamol (Ventolin Nebules) are indicated for the routine management of chronic bronchospasm (unresponsive to conventional therapy) and treatment of acute severe asthma (status asthmaticus).Rotacap/Inhaler/Nebules:For patients with asthma salbutamol may be used to relieve symptoms when they occur and to prevent them prior to a known trigger.
Salbutamol (Ventolin) has a duration of action of 4 to 6 hours in most patients. Increasing use of β2 agonists may be a sign of worsening asthma. Under these conditions a reassessment of the patient's therapy plan may be required and concomitant glucocorticosteroid therapy should be considered. As there may be adverse effects associated with excessive dosing, the dosage or frequency of administration should only be increased on medical advice.Rotacaps:Salbutamol (Ventolin) Rotacaps capsules are for inhalation use only, using a VENTOLIN ROTAHALER inhaler.Relief of Acute Bronchospasm:Adults:200 or 400 h: 100/30.5 (U: 100/30.5) inhalers.
