Ventil Plus Inhaler contains a combination of Salbutamol 100 mcg and Ipratropium Bromide 20 mcg per puff, providing a dual-action bronchodilator therapy for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and other respiratory conditions involving bronchospasm.

This inhaler combines the fast-acting β2-adrenergic agonist effect of Salbutamol with the longer-lasting anticholinergic effect of Ipratropium, offering rapid and sustained relief of airway obstruction. It is especially beneficial for patients who require enhanced bronchodilation and symptom control, including those with moderate-to-severe COPD or mixed bronchospastic conditions.

Composition

• Salbutamol 100 mcg per puff

• Ipratropium Bromide 20 mcg per puff

Mechanism of Action

Ventil Plus Inhaler provides dual bronchodilator action through its components:

1. Salbutamol (β2-adrenergic agonist)

   • Stimulates β2 receptors in bronchial smooth muscles

   • Causes rapid relaxation of airway muscles

   • Provides fast symptom relief within 5–15 minutes of inhalation

2. Ipratropium Bromide (anticholinergic/antimuscarinic)

   • Blocks muscarinic receptors in the airways

   • Reduces bronchoconstriction and mucus secretion

   • Provides longer-lasting bronchodilation, complementing Salbutamol’s rapid effect

Together, these actions improve airflow, reduce wheezing, and relieve shortness of breath, making Ventil Plus ideal for both acute relief and ongoing symptom management.

Indications

Ventil Plus Inhaler is indicated for:

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – Including chronic bronchitis and emphysema

• Asthma – Especially in patients not adequately controlled with single-agent therapy

• Acute bronchospasm – Rapid relief of wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness

• Preventive therapy for exercise-induced bronchospasm – When prescribed by a physician

• Combination therapy in patients requiring dual bronchodilation – For enhanced symptom control
