Asthalin Rotacaps

Product Overview

Asthalin Rotacaps is a bronchodilator medication containing salbutamol as its active ingredient. Specifically designed for respiratory relief, this innovative capsule-based inhalation system delivers targeted therapy for patients requiring consistent management of breathing difficulties.

Uses

Asthalin Rotacaps are clinically indicated for:

• Prevention and treatment of bronchospasm in asthma
• Management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) symptoms
• Rapid relief of wheezing and breathlessness

The specialized delivery system ensures direct pulmonary administration for optimal therapeutic effect.

Mechanism of Action

Salbutamol, the active component, functions as a selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist. It:

1. Binds to bronchial smooth muscle receptors
2. Stimulates adenyl cyclase conversion of ATP to cAMP
3. Promotes muscle relaxation and bronchodilation

This pharmacological action results in improved airway patency and enhanced respiratory function.

Dosage and Administration

For proper use:

1. Insert Rotacap into Rotahaler chamber
2. Rotate device to pierce capsule
3. Inhale powder deeply through mouth
4. Maintain breath-hold for 5-10 seconds before exhaling

Note: Dosage frequency should be strictly determined by a pulmonologist based on individual patient needs.

Therapeutic Advantages

Key benefits include:

• Rapid onset of action (within 5 minutes)
• High pulmonary bioavailability (>80%)
• Portable and discreet administration
• Reduced systemic side effects compared to oral formulations

Potential Adverse Effects

While generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience:

• Fine tremors (particularly in hands)
• Transient tachycardia
• Peripheral vasodilation
• Mild oropharyngeal irritation

These effects typically subside with continued use. Persistent symptoms require medical evaluation.

Precautions and Contraindications

Important safety considerations:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to salbutamol
• Caution required in cardiovascular disorders (arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease)
• Monitor serum potassium in prolonged use
• Pregnancy Category C – use only if potential benefit justifies risk

Storage Conditions
