What is Sultanol?
Sultanol is a brand-dosieraerosol with the active ingredient Salbutamol – the most widely used emergency bronchodilatator worldwide. It is used as a demand medication for acute respiratory distress by asthma or COPD.
Salbutamol is a short-acting beta-2-agonist (SABA), which extends the narrowed bronchi within minutes. Sultanol is one of the most famous asthma arrays and is often referred to as a "blue inhaler".
Sultanol is equally active with salbutamol generics, but is preferred by some patients due to the familiar design.
