How Medicine Works

Salbair I Resp Solution is a combination of two medicines: Salbutamol/Albuterol and Ipratropium. Salbutamol/Albuterol is a bronchodilator while Ipratropium is an anticholinergic. They work by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widen the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.
