Detail Description

Bronkal Syrup 60 mL (2mg/5mL) – Specification

Requires Prescription (YES/NO)
Yes

Generic Name
Salbutamol

Drug Class
Short-acting β2-adrenergic agonist (Bronchodilator)

Used For

  • Relief of bronchospasm in bronchial asthma (all types)

  • Chronic bronchitis

  • Emphysema

  • Reversible airway obstruction

How it Works

Salbutamol is a selective β2 adrenoceptor agonist. At therapeutic doses, it acts on the β2 receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, providing short-acting bronchodilation (4–6 hours). This helps relieve airway obstruction and makes breathing easier.
