Ventolin

What is Ventolin for?

A Ventolin inhaler is the most common type of inhaler prescribed to sufferers and the usually the first choice of people looking to buy reliever inhalers online. It is a fast-acting blue reliever inhaler, which works at easing the symptoms after coming into contact with a trigger.

Common triggers include house dust, pollen, cats, dogs and cigarette smoke.

Ventolin Evohaler contains a propellant called HFA 134a. This is less harmful to the environment than older inhalers. Older inhalers may taste differently to Ventolin Evohaler. This will make no difference to how your medicine works.

Please note that the NHS state that if you need to use your Salbutamol inhaler 3 or more times a week, you should speak to your GP or asthma nurse. They may want to also prescribe you a brown preventer inhaler in addition to your blue reliever inhaler. Or, if you already use a preventer, your medication could be changed.

Do not buy Ventolin Evohaler or Accuhaler to share your medicine with anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to use this medication if it has not been prescribed for them.

Can I get Ventolin on the NHS?

Technically, yes. However, you are not guaranteed to receive Ventolin, and will often receive a cheaper alternative. You should notice your NHS prescription rarely says ‘Ventolin’ on it and instead will often say ‘Salbutamol’.  Therefore, the pharmacy who dispense your prescription can give you any one from a number of blue reliever inhalers containing Salbutamol and you may not get Ventolin; an effective, branded and trusted reliever inhaler preferred by many. Therefore, this is why many people choose to buy Ventolin online from a reliable and dependable UK online pharmacy such as Medical Specialists®.

How does Ventolin work?

You can buy Ventolin inhalers online from Medical Specialists® Pharmacy in two forms – Ventolin Evohaler or Ventolin Accuhaler. The medication we can prescribe will depend on what you have been prescribed already from your own doctor.

The Ventolin Evohaler acts as a 'press and breathe' inhaler, meaning you are required to press down on the inhaler to release the dose, breathing in as you do this.

The Ventolin Accuhaler contains the active ingredient Salbutamol as micro-powders, which are inhaled into the lungs. This type of inhaler is activated upon breathing, meaning you are not required to ‘time’ your breath as you usually do with a regular inhaler.

Buy Ventolin Accuhaler online if you have already been prescribed this previously, and this version is particularly suited to those who struggle to use normal aerosol inhalers.

Whichever inhaler you use, Salbutamol is inhaled directly into the lungs, thereby easing symptoms within around 5 to 20 minutes of ease. Salbutamol relaxes the muscles in your airways, opening up your airways and making it easier for you to breathe. Ventolin also helps to clear mucus and reduce inflammation in the lungs.

Do not use your Ventolin inhaler more often than the doctor told you to. If your Ventolin inhaler does not seem to be working as well as usual or your symptoms worsen, you will need to speak to your own doctor as they may want to prescribe you a different inhaler.
