Salamol Description
Salamol Easi-Breathe is a blue inhaler that helps ease asthma attacks.
It's CFC-free and contains salbutamol sulfate to help relax the airways in your lungs.
It opens up the airways, helping you breathe more easily during an asthma attack.

What is Salamol Easi-Breathe?

The Salamol Easi-Breathe inhaler, produced in the UK, is free from CFCs. It contains the active ingredient salbutamol sulfate and is recognisable by its blue colour. This inhaler provides relief during an asthma attack and can also be used as a preventative measure before coming into contact with known triggers like pet hair or exercise. Additionally, it helps alleviate symptoms of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

How does Salamol work?

The Salamol Easi-Breathe inhaler contains salbutamol sulfate as its active ingredient. This medicine is part of a group known as beta-antagonists. It helps to open up the airways in your lungs, making it easier for you to breathe in and out.

What is Salamol Easi-Breathe CFC inhaler used for?

It's used to relieve an asthma attack, prevent one triggered by allergens like pet hair, pollen, and cigarette smoke, and to ease symptoms linked with COPD.

Is Salamol 100mcg the only dose?

The Salamol CFC-free Easi-Breathe inhaler comes in just one dosage size of 100 micrograms. This is because the amount needed during an asthma attack varies for each person. You can increase the dose by taking multiple puffs at different times during an attack. There's a similar reliever called Salamol Steri-Neb, available in 2.5mg and 5mg doses, but we don't offer this medication through our service at the moment.

What should I do if Salamol doesn’t work?

If your inhaler no longer helps, please get in touch with our clinician for advice, as they might need to check your dosage. If it doesn't ease asthma symptoms during an attack, seek medical help straight away.

How often can you take Salamol?

Do not exceed eight puffs in a 24-hour period, and ensure you wait four hours between each dose.

Salamol Easi-Breathe is a reliever inhaler used for managing asthma attacks. If you find yourself using it more than twice a week, it's important to consult a clinician or asthma nurse. You may need a preventer inhaler for long-term asthma management.

Will I need to use another inhaler at the same time as Salamol?

Yes, you might need to. Many people with asthma use a reliever inhaler such as Salamol Easi-Breathe along with a preventer inhaler.

A preventer inhaler is used regularly every day. It's meant to stop asthma symptoms by reducing inflammation in the lungs.

A reliever inhaler is used differently because you only use it 'as needed' during an attack or if you feel one might be coming on.

Most people with asthma use a preventer inhaler in the morning and evening and keep a reliever inhaler with them.

There are combination inhalers available that work as both a preventer and a reliever inhaler.

Is Salamol a steroid inhaler?

Salamol Easi-Breathe doesn't have any steroids. It's a reliever inhaler, while steroids are included in preventer inhalers because they work like the glands in your body that naturally produce steroids.

Preventer and reliever inhalers are commonly used together to provide both long-term and short-term treatment for asthma.

Is Salamol the same as Ventolin?

The Salamol Easi-Breathe inhaler and the Ventolin inhaler both have an active ingredient that helps relax the airways during an asthma attack. However, there are some important differences between Ventolin and Salamol Easi-Breathe.

Ventolin and Salamol Easi-breathe come from different manufacturers. Salamol Easi-Breathe tends to be less expensive than Ventolin. The inhalers have a different appearance as well; Ventolin is an aerosol inhaler, while Salamol Easi-Breathe is activated by your breath.

How is Salamol Easi-Breathe different from other inhalers?

The Salamol Easi-Breathe inhaler is like the Ventolin inhaler because both have the same active ingredient, salbutamol.

The Ventolin inhaler is a bit different because it's a CFC inhaler. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are used in traditional inhalers to help move the medicine from the canister to the mouthpiece.

Studies indicate that CFCs harm the environment and damage the Earth's ozone layer. As a result, many countries and pharmaceutical companies have pledged to reduce their use of CFCs.

The Salamol Easi-Breathe inhaler uses hydrofluoroalkanes (HFAs) instead of CFCs. HFAs are better for the environment while still doing the same job.

Can you get Salamol over the counter?

No, it's only available with a prescription. A clinician will need to talk with you about your asthma symptoms and medical history to determine the right dosage for you. It's also crucial for a clinician to be part of your ongoing care, keeping an eye on your asthma symptoms and any changes over time.

As with any medicine, Salamol Easi-Breathe may cause side effects, which a clinician should consider before prescribing it.
