What is an Airomir inhaler?
An Airomir inhaler is an asthma inhaler that is designed to relieve asthma symptoms, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. It should be taken at the onset of an asthma attack.
A preliever inhaler should always be used in conjunction with a brown preventer inhaler such as Clenil Modulite
It contains the active ingredient salbutamol, which is part of a group of medicines known as short-acting beta 2 antagonists. This group of medicines work on the beta 2 receptors in your lungs. When these receptors are stimulated the muscles in your airways relax, which allows the airways to expand, relieving symptoms of asthma and the tightness in your chest.
Asthma is a condition that affects more than 5 million people in the UK alone. It is caused by inflammation of the bronchial airways, which results in swelling that makes the airways contract, stopping air from passing through properly. Inflammation of the bronchial airways also makes for an increased production of phlegm, which further obstructs the airways.
An asthma attack can occur as the result of a variety of triggers; these include allergens, infections, cold air, stress, exercise or airborne pollutants.

How does Airomir work?
This inhaler comes available in two different versions. The Airomir aerosol inhaler requires you to press down on a metal canister to inhale the medicine; this will release 100mcg of salbutamol. This action needs you to time the inhalation to coincide with the canister's manual compression, so if you do not time it properly you might not get the full dose. As a result, you must attend appointments with your GP or asthma nurse to make sure you are using the inhaler properly.
The Airomir autohaler is the second version, which releases a measured dose automatically whenever you inhale from the mouthpiece. Many people who have asthma prefer the Airomir autohaler because they do not need to coordinate the inhalation with the activation.
What are the benefits of taking Airomir?
An Airomir inhaler provides short-term relief from asthma symptoms; for this reason, it is known as a 'reliever inhaler'. It contains the active ingredient salbutamol sulphate which, after being inhaled, will start to make it easier for you to breathe within five minutes. The effects of this medicine will continue to work for as long as six hours.
A reliever inhaler can also help to prevent asthma symptoms from bothering you after you exercise, as well as relieving breathing problems that come with certain respiratory conditions like COPD.
Asthma inhalers are generally categorised as either 'preventer' inhalers or 'reliever' inhalers. A preventer inhaler will normally contain a coticosteroid, which helps to reduce inflammation in the airways when taken on a regular basis. This helps to reduce the chances of having an asthma attack and control asthma symptoms.
A reliever inhaler like Airomir is a salbutamol-based inhaler. These should be used to relieve the symptoms of asthma as and when they occur. They can also be used before exercise or when you know you are likely to come into contact with asthma triggers, such as dust or fumes.
Alternatives
There are various alternatives to Airomir. Salbutamol inhalers are available in a wide range of brands, including Salamol, Ventolin, Easi-Breathe and more.

Airomir Dosage
How do I use Airomir?
Always use this medication exactly as instructed by your doctor. Read the patient information leaflet thoroughly before you start using it. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist for further guidance if you are unsure of anything.
The recommended do age for adults is to have one or two inhalations, when required. To prevent the symptoms of asthma, you should take it around 10 to 15 minutes before you do any exercise or before you are exposed to any triggers or allergens.
When using a standard Airomir inhaler, you should inhale as you press down on the metal canister. For the Airomir autohaler, the device will release salbutamol once primed, when you inhale from the mouthpiece. Make sure you see your doctor or asthma nurse at regular intervals to make sure you are using Airomir properly.
You should speak to your doctor if your symptoms are so severe or persistent that you need to use your Airomir more than eight times in the same day. You may benefit from a different form of asthma treatment.
