Ventolin Inhaler 100 Micrograms

Ventolin inhaler 100mcg allows you to breathe more easily when there is tightness in your chest or when you are wheezing. It is a medication that opens up the breathing tubes that tighten around your airways by relaxing them. This action rapidly opens the airways and allow more air to come in and out of the lungs, which ultimately improves breathing. Your medicine is a bronchodilator. Because it gives fast and instant relief from your chest symptoms, it is often called a reliever medicine. A bronchodilator is extremely effective in clearing mucus from the lungs. When the airways are relaxed and open, the mucus moves more freely and can be easily coughed out.
