About Salamol Inhalers

Both Salamol inhalers contain the active ingredient salbutamol, which is used to relieve the symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The Salamol CFC-free inhaler is a cost-effective generic alternative to Ventolin, using the standard press-and-breathe device.
The Salamol Easi-Breathe inhaler is similar in effect but uses a breath-actuated device, making it easier to use for people who have difficulty coordinating a traditional inhaler.

We also stock other salbutamol reliever inhalers, including Ventolin and generic Salbutamol inhalers.

How the Devices Work

Salamol CFC-free inhaler: Standard press-and-breathe inhaler requiring coordination and timing.
Salamol Easi-Breathe inhaler: Breath-actuated inhaler that releases medication automatically as you breathe in, ensuring a high dose reaches the deep lungs without the need for precise timing.

It is important to review your inhaler technique regularly and ensure you are using the device correctly. Incorrect usage may mean you are not receiving the full benefit of your treatment.

Both Salamol CFC-free and Easi-Breathe inhalers contain 200 metered doses.

How Salamol Works

Salamol contains the active ingredient salbutamol, a beta-agonist bronchodilator. This means it relaxes the muscles around the airways in the lungs, opening them up and making it easier to breathe. It is particularly useful for conditions where the airways become constricted, such as asthma.

Salamol is a reliever inhaler, designed to quickly improve asthma symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and tightness in the chest. It works to provide short-term relief when symptoms appear.

For long-term management, a preventer inhaler should also be used. Preventer inhalers contain steroid medication that helps reduce inflammation in the airways and lower the risk of asthma attacks. Using both types of inhalers as prescribed helps you manage your asthma effectively.

How to Use Salamol Inhalers

Using the Standard Salamol Pressurised Inhaler (CFC-free)

Shake well before use and prime the inhaler if required.
Exhale fully and place the inhaler mouthpiece between your lips.
Press the canister to release the dose while breathing in slowly and deeply.
After inhaling the dose, hold your breath for as long as comfortably possible, then breathe out.

Using the Salamol Easi-Breathe Inhaler

Hold the mouthpiece between your lips.
Breathe in slowly and deeply — the inhaler will release the dose automatically as you inhale.
Continue inhaling fully and then hold your breath for as long as comfortably possible.

Important Notes

Always take the dose exactly as directed by your doctor, according to the severity of your asthma attack and your asthma action plan.
If you do not have an asthma action plan, discuss creating one with your regular doctor.

Other Asthma Inhalers

Other ‘reliever’ inhalers that can be prescribed include Ventolin and generic Salbutamol. Ventolin contains the same active ingredient as Salamol Easi-Breathe, but it comes in a different type of inhaler device.

Examples of ‘preventer’ inhalers, which are used for long-term asthma management, include Clenil, Flixotide, and Seretide. Most people with asthma will be prescribed a preventer inhaler, and it is important to use them regularly to reduce inflammation in the airways and prevent asthma attacks.

If you are unsure about your asthma treatment plan, always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalised advice.

Side Effects of Salamol

As with all medications, Salamol may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them.

Common side effects

Headaches
Muscle tremors
Dizziness

These side effects are more likely to occur with higher doses.

What Is Salamol Used For?

Salamol inhalers are used to relieve the symptoms of asthma, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. They are typically used on a ‘when required’ basis, to provide quick relief during asthma flare-ups.

Are Salamol CFC-free and Easi-Breathe Inhalers Relievers?

Yes, both Salamol CFC-free and Easi-Breathe inhalers are reliever inhalers. They work by relaxing the muscles around the airways, providing quick relief from asthma symptoms and helping you breathe more easily.

How Long Does Salamol Easi-Breathe Take to Work?

The Salamol Easi-Breathe inhaler usually provides relief from asthma symptoms within a few minutes of inhaling a dose.

Does a Salamol Inhaler Contain Steroids?

No, Salamol inhalers do not contain any steroid ingredients. Their active ingredient is salbutamol, which works to relax the muscles around the airways and open them up for easier breathing.

Other types of asthma inhalers, known as ‘preventer inhalers’, do contain steroid medication to reduce inflammation in the airways. Common steroid ingredients used in preventer inhalers include beclometasone, fluticasone, and budesonide.

Can I Buy Salamol Inhalers Over the Counter?

In the UK, Salamol inhalers are prescription-only medicines and cannot be purchased over the counter.

At Reach Online Pharmacy, you can request to order a Salamol inhaler online. Simply complete a short online medical questionnaire, which our UK-registered doctors will review. If your order is approved, a prescription is issued, and our pharmacy team will dispense and dispatch your inhaler directly to your chosen address.

Before taking any medication, it is important to read the Patient Information Leaflet. You can find information leaflets for your medicines by typing them into the search bar at medicines.org, or by contacting us.

Important Information About Salamol

Salamol is an effective reliever inhaler for treating asthma symptoms such as shortness of breath and wheezing. However, if you have been prescribed a steroid (preventer) inhaler, it is important to continue using it as directed.

Salamol provides short-term relief, but it does not improve asthma in the long term. Steroid inhalers help reduce inflammation in the lungs and improve asthma control over time.

If you notice that your symptoms are worsening or you are using your Salamol inhaler more frequently, you should contact your doctor. Increased use of your reliever inhaler can be a sign that your asthma is not well controlled. This may be influenced by other medications, changes in weather, or a general worsening of your condition.
