Description
Ascoril (Salbutamol Sulfate Equivalent) Tablets №50
Ingredients
Each tablet contains Salbutamol Sulfate equivalent to Salbutamol 2 mg.
Mechanism of Action
Salbutamol, the active ingredient in Ascoril tablets, is a selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist. It acts by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the lungs, leading to relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles. This results in bronchodilation, making breathing easier for patients with bronchospasm.
Pharmacological Properties
Salbutamol exerts its effects by binding to beta-2 adrenergic receptors on the smooth muscle cells of the bronchioles. This action leads to the activation of adenylate cyclase and subsequent increase in intracellular cyclic AMP levels, causing smooth muscle relaxation and bronchodilation.
Indications for Use
Ascoril tablets are indicated for the relief of bronchospasm in patients with conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. It is particularly beneficial in managing acute episodes of bronchoconstriction and improving airflow in obstructive airway diseases.
Contraindications
Do not use Ascoril tablets if you have a known hypersensitivity to Salbutamol or any other components of the product. Patients with a history of paradoxical bronchospasm or severe cardiovascular disorders should also avoid using this medication.

Benefits Compared to Analogues
Ascoril tablets offer a rapid onset of action and sustained bronchodilator effect, making them effective in providing quick relief from bronchospasm. The precise dosing allows for tailored therapy, optimizing bronchodilation while minimizing the risk of systemic side effects.

However, special caution is advised when administering the medication to elderly patients and individuals with underlying cardiovascular conditions. Close monitoring is necessary in these patient groups to prevent potential complications.
