Salbutamol inhalation and dental caries
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Introduction Salbutamol (Ventolin) is a β2-sympathicomimetic drug, which was granted a marketing authorization in 1973. It is indicated for the treatment of reversible airway obstruction in bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema [1]. Both child and adult asthmatics use this inhalation medication, the difference lies in the dosage and vehicle of delivery. Dental caries as an ADR of salbutamol use is well-described in literature and seen regularly by health professionals but is not listed in the SPC.

First-Aid Treatment of Hyperkalemia by Nebulised Salbutamol: An Experience in Pseudohypoaldosteronism
Abstract In the present case with primary pseudohypoaldosteronism, severe hypekalemia was treated with salbutamol inhalation in acute phase. Transcellular hypokalemic effect of salbutamol is related to the activation of Na-K pump on the cell membrane. Although use of salbutamol inhalation in hyperkalemia was previously described, it has not been widely used. The administration of salbutamol by ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of inhaled salbutamol (rapidly delivered, using a metered-dose inhaler with a spacer device [MDI-S]) in lowering the serum potassium levels in patients with hyperkalemia. DESIGN A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. PATIENTS Seventeen chronic renal failure patients referred to the Nephrology Unit between October 1, 1997 and March 31, 1998 ...
متن کاملRelative bioavailability of salbutamol to the lung following inhalation using metered dose inhalation methods and spacer devices.
BACKGROUND Inhalation aids do not require coordination between actuation of a metered dose inhaler (MDI) with inspiration and reduce oropharyngeal impaction. The delivery of salbutamol to the lung and systemic availability following inhalation with three commonly used spacers and an open mouth technique have been evaluated using a simple noninvasive technique based on urinary excretion 30 minut...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine the protective effect of salbutamol, 100 microg, inhaled by different devices (pressurized metered-dose inhaler [pMDI; Ventolin; GlaxoWellcome; Greenford, UK], pMDI + spacer [Volumatic; GlaxoWellcome], or breath-activated pMDI [Autohaler; 3M Pharmaceuticals; St. Paul, MN]) on bronchoconstriction induced by methacholine. DESIGN Randomized, double-blind, cross-over,...
متن کاملEffects of salbutamol and enantiomers on allergen-induced asthmatic reactions and airway hyperreactivity.
Salbutamol consists of a racemic mixture of R- and S-salbutamol. R-salbutamol (levalbuterol) is the active bronchodilating enantiomer, whereas S-salbutamol is thought to be pharmacologically inactive or to exert adverse effects. This study evaluated the bronchoprotective effects of inhalation of therapeutically relevant doses of the racemate and individual enantiomers in guinea pigs. It was fou...
