About Bemol 2mg Tablet

SALBUTAMOL belongs to a class of medicines called 'bronchodilator' that makes breathing easier by relaxing the lungs' respiratory muscles and widening the airways (bronchi). It contains Salbutamol, which treats respiratory disorders like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic bronchitis. Additionally, it relieves shortness of breath due to narrowed airways or bronchus. Asthma and COPD is a restrictive breathing disorder in which airways narrow, swell and may produce extra mucus, leading to breathing difficulty and triggering cough, a whistling sound (wheezing) when you breathe out and shortness of breath. 

SALBUTAMOL contains Salbutamol which is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the respiratory muscles and widening the airways of the lungs, making breathing. This medicine is specially prescribed to asthma and COPD patients who have laboured or difficulty in breathing. Thus, it helps relieve chest tightness, cough and wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). Additionally, it also prevents shortness of breath during or after exercise or activity.
