Safely Buy Airomir ( Salbutamol Sulfate ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.
Indications
Airomir is a medication that contains the active ingredient salbutamol sulphate, which is a bronchodilator.
Airomir is used for the relief of symptoms associated with wheezing and breathlessness in individuals with asthma and is used for the prevention and treatment of exercise-induced bronchospasm and acute severe asthma attacks.
Use and Dosage
Use albuterol inhalation exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not use albuterol inhalation in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Read all patient information, medication guides, and instruction sheets provided to you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
You may need to prime your albuterol inhaler device before the first use. Your medicine comes with directions for priming if needed. You may also need to shake your albuterol device just before each use.
Keeping your inhaler clean is important to ensure you are receiving the medication. Clean the plastic actuator with the canister removed at least once a week. Your medicine comes with directions for properly cleaning your device.
Follow all medication instructions very carefully.
Do not allow a young child to use albuterol inhalation without help from an adult.
The usual dose of albuterol inhalation is 2 inhalations every 4 to 6 hours. To prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm, use 2 inhalations 15 to 30 minutes before you exercise. The effects of albuterol inhalation should last about 4 to 6 hours.
Seek medical attention if you think your asthma medications are not working as well. An increased need for medication could be an early sign of a serious asthma attack.
Use the dose counter on your albuterol inhaler device and get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely. Always use the new inhaler device provided with your refill. Do not float a medicine canister in water to see if it is empty.

Cautions
- You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to albuterol. You should not use ProAir RespiClick if you are allergic to milk proteins.
- Albuterol may increase the risk of death or hospitalization in people with asthma, but the risk in people with obstructive airway disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not known.
- To make sure albuterol inhalation is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
- Heart disease, high blood pressure, or congestive heart failure
- A heart rhythm disorder
- A seizure disorder such as epilepsy

The benefit of preventing bronchospasm may outweigh any risks to the baby.
