Table of contents:

Volmax is a medication that is used to treat symptoms of bronchospasm or wheezing in patients with reversible obstructive airway disease, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Albuterol, the active ingredient in Volmax, belongs to a class of medications called bronchodilators. The medication works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and increasing airflow to the lungs.

Use and Dosage

Albuterol is available in the form of extended-release tablets for oral administration. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and can be taken with or without food. Follow the healthcare provider's instructions carefully when taking Albuterol.

The recommended dosage of albuterol tablets can vary depending on the patient's individual medical condition, age, weight, and other factors. Follow the healthcare provider's instructions carefully when taking Albuterol, including the correct dosage and frequency of administration. The starting dose for adults is 4mg twice a day, which can be increased to up to 8mg twice a day if necessary. However, the recommended dosage may be different for children, and consult with a healthcare provider for appropriate dosing information and any other questions or concerns you may have.

The medication works by relaxing the muscles in the airway and can be helpful for treating conditions such as asthma. If you experience any side effects or discomfort after taking Volmax, you should contact your healthcare provider. Continue taking the medication as prescribed and not stop or change the dosage without consulting a healthcare provider. Additionally, store the medication in a cool, dry place and keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
