Ventalin, excellent drug for the relief of Asthma and other allergic reactions.
You can't "overdose" per se... But excessive use in a brief time period will result in increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, release of endorphins and the reduction of communication between the cortex and the cerrebellum in the brain (you get high)
Fortunately It's very difficult to do, an the effect is very temporary and the intrusion in minimal.
Naturally the pressurised containers of Ventalin contain little oxygen, so if you somehow managed to breathe nothing but that, you would assphyxiate....
So don't!!
No, Ventolin inhalers do not contain steroids. Ventolin contains albuterol (also known as salbutamol), which is a bronchodilator that helps relieve asthma symptoms by relaxing the muscles in the airways. Steroid inhalers, such as those containing fluticasone or budesonide, are used for long-term control of inflammation in asthma but are different from rescue inhalers like Ventolin.
A nebuliser dose of ventolin is either 2.5mg or 5mg in 2.5 mls saline. I assume you mean a 100mcg per puff inhaler, which would obvs be 600mcg in 6 puffs. A 2.5mg neb is worth 25 puffs of a 100mcg inhaler, so 6 puffs via spacer is about a quarter of a neb dose (i.e. not that much!)
No, Ventolin is not a glucocorticoid steroid. It contains the active ingredient salbutamol, which is a bronchodilator used to relieve asthma symptoms by relaxing the muscles in the airways. Glucocorticoid steroids, on the other hand, are anti-inflammatory medications that help reduce inflammation in the airways but are different from bronchodilators like Ventolin.
Ventolin is a brand name for the medication albuterol sulfate, which is a bronchodilator commonly used to treat asthma and other respiratory conditions. Albuterol is available in various formulations, including inhalers, nebulizer solutions, and tablets. The available sizes and strengths of Ventolin inhalers can vary based on the country and manufacturer, but typically, Ventolin inhalers come in the following sizes and strengths: Ventolin HFA (Metered-Dose Inhaler): 90 mcg per actuation (puff) Common inhaler sizes include 18g and 200 doses per inhaler. Ventolin Evohaler: 100 mcg per actuation (puff) Common inhaler sizes include 100 doses per inhaler. It's important to note that these are general examples, and specific availability may vary depending on your location and the pharmaceutical company producing the medication. If you're prescribed Ventolin, your healthcare provider or pharmacist can provide you with information about the available sizes and strengths in your region.

Yes, it can also cause 'jitters' and shaking. If any of these symptoms are becoming a problem, talk to a doctor.
Ventolin is albuterol.
Yes, it is generally safe to use Ventolin (albuterol) in conjunction with Spiriva (tiotropium) as they work in different ways to help manage respiratory conditions like asthma or COPD. Ventolin is a short-acting bronchodilator that provides quick relief of symptoms, while Spiriva is a long-acting anticholinergic that helps maintain open airways over time. However, it's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and discuss any concerns about your medication regimen.
I'm about a Ventolin inhaler but in an Albuterol inhaler the only things in it are Ventolin ethanol and oliec acid

Ventolin (albuterol) is a quick-relief bronchodilator typically used as needed for acute symptoms, while Advair (fluticasone/salmeterol) is a maintenance medication taken regularly to control asthma or COPD. It's generally recommended to use Ventolin first to open the airways, followed by Advair for ongoing control. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice on medication timing and usage.
