Ventolin Nebules
What are Ventolin Nebules and how are they used?
Ventolin Nebules are a salbutamol inhalation solution for use with a compatible nebuliser. Each single-use Nebule contains either 2.5mg/2.5ml or 5mg/2.5ml of salbutamol, which belongs to a group of medicines known as bronchodilators. These medicines work by helping the airways in the lungs stay open, so air can move in and out more easily.
The solution is converted by the nebuliser into a fine mist, which is inhaled through a face mask or mouthpiece. Ventolin Nebules are commonly used when inhaled treatment by nebuliser has been advised by a doctor, including for people with asthma or other breathing-related chest conditions. Always use this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor, nurse or pharmacist.
7 Benefits of Ventolin Nebules

- Helps to keep the airways open, making it easier for air to move in and out of the lungs.
- Can help relieve chest tightness, wheezing and cough when used as directed.
- Designed for use with a nebuliser machine, which turns the solution into a fine mist to inhale through a face mask or mouthpiece.
