Airfors Inhaler (90 mcg + 80 mcg) is a combination inhalation therapy containing Salbutamol and Budesonide, designed for the effective management of asthma and other chronic inflammatory airway diseases. This dual-action inhaler provides both rapid relief from acute bronchospasm and long-term control of airway inflammation. Salbutamol offers quick bronchodilation, while Budesonide reduces airway inflammation, making Airfors Inhaler suitable for patients who require both symptom relief and preventive therapy.

Indications

Airfors Inhaler is indicated for the management and prevention of:

• Bronchial asthma

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with reversible airway obstruction

• Asthma symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing

• Exercise-induced bronchospasm where both rapid relief and anti-inflammatory control are required

This inhaler is particularly useful in patients whose asthma is not adequately controlled with a bronchodilator alone.

Therapeutic Class

Short-acting beta-2 agonist and inhaled corticosteroid combination

Pharmacology

Salbutamol is a selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist that relaxes smooth muscle in the bronchial airways, resulting in rapid bronchodilation and improved airflow. It provides quick relief from acute bronchospasm. Budesonide is a corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory properties. It reduces airway inflammation, edema, and mucus production by inhibiting multiple inflammatory mediators. The combination ensures immediate symptom relief while addressing the underlying inflammatory component of airway disease.

Dosage and Administration

Airfors Inhaler is intended for inhalation use only.

• The usual dose is one or two puffs as prescribed by a physician

• Frequency depends on disease severity and patient response

• Patients should be instructed on proper inhaler technique to ensure optimal drug delivery

• Rinse mouth with water after inhalation to reduce the risk of oral candidiasis

The inhaler should be used regularly as directed, even when symptoms are controlled, unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional.

Drug Interactions

Caution is advised when used with other beta-agonists, beta-blockers, diuretics, or corticosteroids. Non-selective beta-blockers may reduce the effectiveness of Salbutamol. Concurrent use with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase systemic exposure to Budesonide.

Contraindications

Airfors Inhaler is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Salbutamol, Budesonide, or any component of the formulation.

Side Effects

Common side effects include tremor, headache, palpitations, throat irritation, cough, and hoarseness. Oral candidiasis may occur due to the corticosteroid component, particularly with improper mouth rinsing. Rare effects include tachycardia, muscle cramps, and systemic corticosteroid effects with prolonged use.

Precautions and Warnings

Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders, diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, or seizure disorders. This inhaler is not intended for the relief of severe acute asthma attacks requiring emergency treatment unless advised by a physician.

Use in Pregnancy and Lactation

Airfors Inhaler should be used during pregnancy and lactation only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk. Medical supervision is recommended.

Storage Conditions
