How Does It Work?

• COPD is a common lung problem that produces damage to the lungs over the period. This condition produces symptoms like coughing with mucous for a long time and eventually leading to breathing difficulties.
• Salbair I Transhaler works by the anticholinergic effect of Ipratropium and the bronchodilator effect of Salbutamol.
• Few chemical substances (Acetylcholine) released in the body are responsible for the tightness of breathing tubes.
• Ipratropium blocks the effect of this substance and decreases the tone of breathing tubes, thus making breathing easier.
• Salbutamol acts mainly on smaller lung tubes and dilates them by relaxing the muscles.
