Salamol is a CFC-free reliever inhaler available in three forms: Salamol Inhaler, Salamol Easi-Breathe Inhaler, and Salamol Steri-Nebs. Each contains the active ingredient salbutamol, which works by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the lungs. This action relaxes the muscles in the airways, helping them to open up and making it easier to breathe.

View Patient InformationSalamol is a reliever inhaler that contains salbutamol, a fast-acting bronchodilator used to ease breathing difficulties in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works quickly to relieve symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Salamol may also be used before exercise or exposure to allergens (such as pollen or pet fur) to help prevent breathing problems.
Using a Salamol Inhaler
Always follow your doctor’s instructions or the guidance provided in the patient information leaflet. Your doctor will advise how many puffs to take and how often — do not exceed the prescribed dose.
Key steps:
Follow instructions carefully: Read the leaflet provided or ask your healthcare professional for advice.
Learn the correct technique: Using the inhaler properly ensures the right amount of medicine reaches your lungs.
Ask for a demonstration: Your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist can show you the correct way to use your inhaler.
Using the Metered-Dose Inhaler
The Salamol CFC-free inhaler is a metered-dose inhaler that releases the medicine as a fine mist or spray.
It’s important to coordinate pressing the canister with inhaling the spray to get the full benefit.
If you find this difficult, a spacer device can make it easier and improve medicine delivery.
Using Salamol correctly helps ensure that your lungs receive the proper dose to relieve asthma symptoms quickly and effectively.
If you have trouble using your inhaler or are unsure about your technique, speak to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist for guidance.
The Salamol Easi-Breathe Inhaler is a breath-actuated device, which means it automatically releases a dose of medication when you inhale through the mouthpiece.
How to use it:
Place the mouthpiece between your lips.
Breathe in slowly and deeply — this triggers the release of the medication.
Continue inhaling after the puff is released; don’t stop breathing as soon as you feel it.
This design makes it easier to use, especially for those who find it difficult to coordinate pressing an inhaler while breathing in.
Salamol Steri-Nebs are small plastic ampoules containing a liquid form of salbutamol, used with a nebuliser — a device that turns the medicine into a fine mist for inhalation.
They are often used in hospital or clinical settings to deliver a higher dose of medication than a standard inhaler, especially during severe asthma or COPD flare-ups.
Yes - both Salamol and Ventolin contain the same active ingredient, salbutamol, and work in the same way to relieve asthma symptoms by relaxing the muscles in the airways.
Each provides the same number of doses, but Salamol is more environmentally friendly, using a greener propellant gas with a lower carbon footprint.
No - Salamol is not a steroid. It is a bronchodilator, which helps open the airways to make breathing easier.
Your doctor may prescribe Salamol alongside a steroid inhaler, such as Pulmicort, to help manage inflammation in the lungs.
