Pregnancy:
In studies in rats, systemic exposure to salbimazole was equivalent to 1.2 mg/kg body weight in the initial post-natal period.was shown to be most sensitive in this species to salbimazole.H. influenzaepyloriwas shown to be most susceptible in this species to salbimazole.Nocardiawas shown to be most susceptible to salbimazole in this species during the first trimester of pregnancy. Salbimazole has no effect on the production of nitric oxide in the body in pregnant rats.The use of salbimazole in women who become pregnant is contraindicated

Ventolin is a brand-name asthma inhaler used to treat wheezing and shortness of breath caused by certain conditions in the lungs. It contains the active ingredient spacer compound Salbutamol. Salbutamol works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widening them, allowing for better airflow. This can help reduce asthma symptoms and help prevent the progression of bronchospasms.
Ventolin contains a salbutamol component. Salbutamol relaxes muscles and opens up air passages in the lungs, making breathing easier. This helps reduce asthma symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness.
Ventolin is most effective when inhaled and taken as needed. It's not recommended to take Ventolin with other medications containing salbutamol, such as albuterol or terbutaline. Salbutamol can also interfere with how the drug works, potentially reducing its effectiveness.
Like all medications, Ventolin can cause side effects. Common side effects include:
Serious side effects, such as allergic reactions or severe allergic reactions, require immediate medical attention. Patients should exercise caution and speak with their healthcare provider about alternative treatments.
For more information, see Section in the on this page.
If you're having difficulty breathing while taking Ventolin, avoid it with other medications, as it can increase the risk of side effects.
Some medications can interact with Ventolin, potentially altering its effectiveness or causing side effects. These include beta-agonists, beta-agonists for asthma, and certain steroids. These medications are known to increase the risk of addiction, so avoid them. Always inform your doctor about any prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medications you're taking.
Additionally, avoid certain foods, such as high-fiber foods and alcohol, which can increase Ventolin's potential side effects. Additionally, limit mouthwash products to prevent irritation. Avoid spicy, starchy foods and caffeinated products.
