Medical Overview
Ventolin Syrup is listed as Respiratory containing Salbutamol. A respiratory medicine used for allergy, asthma, or airway symptoms depending on dosage form.
Ventolin Syrup (oral salbutamol 2mg/5ml) is the pediatric bronchodilator by mouth — slower (30-60min) and more systemic (tremor, hyperactivity, tachycardia) than the inhaler+spacer, which modern guidelines prefer even for infants with a mask. Doctor-set weight-based dosing only; wheezing with retractions or blue lips is an emergency.
