Salbutamol is available as an inhaler (puffer). Salbutamol inhalers are often blue in color. Salbutamol is occasionally administered as pills, capsules, or syrup to patients who have difficulty using an inhaler. The pills may be yellow, white, or orange. Patients should know the name of their medication and how to use it properly. If you don't know how to use your inhaler, call your doctor for help. The inhaler should be used every day at the same time, even if you feel well without it. If you forget, don't use it later than its recommended time. Otherwise, you might end up with problems such as severe lung infections that can lead to death. If you stop using your inhaler too soon, your lungs will still be protected by your body's natural defenses - but not fully prepared for battle against future attacks of asthma. So, continue using your inhaler even if you feel fine without it for several weeks after stopping it habitually. Some people think that if they use too much salbutamol, it will kill them. This is not true. However, over-using salbutamol can cause problems with your lungs. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label. Do not use more than prescribed or overdose may occur.
