How ASTHALIN INHALER Works
ASTHALIN INHALER is a bronchodilator. It relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways and widens them. It also blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the airways (such as mast cells) that cause inflammation and swelling. As a result, it reduces airway inflammation, manages the airways from becoming narrow and allows the
air to pass through more freely which makes breathing easier.
