Indication Dosage

Salbutamol and Guaifenesin are two medications that are sometimes combined for the treatment of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Here are some indications for this combination:

• Asthma: Salbutamol is a bronchodilator that helps to relax the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps to thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up. Together, these medications can be used to relieve symptoms of asthma, such as wheezing and shortness of breath.
• COPD: COPD is a chronic respiratory condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to breathe. Salbutamol and Guaifenesin can be used together to help manage symptoms of COPD, such as coughing and shortness of breath.
• Bronchitis: Bronchitis is a condition where the bronchial tubes become inflamed, leading to coughing, chest discomfort, and difficulty breathing. Salbutamol and Guaifenesin can be used together to help relieve symptoms of bronchitis by opening up the airways and thinning mucus.
• Cystic fibrosis: Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs, causing the production of thick, sticky mucus that clogs the airways. Salbutamol and Guaifenesin can be used together to help thin and loosen the mucus, making it easier to cough up.
