Hello lybrate-user!
salbair and asthalin have similar action and both are used as needed in bronchial asthma.
While asthalin contains salbutamol, salbair contains levosalbutamol.
Levosalbutamol is a isomer of salbutamol with comparatively lesser side effect potential.
Recent international guidelines don't support the preferred use of either salbutamol or levosalbutamol for asthma.
Ideally a inhaled corticosteroid with a long acting bronchodilator combination should be used as...more

Dear lybrate-user, asthalin inhaler and rotacaps are inhalational beta agonists, one of the mainstay of asthma management besides bronchodilators and steroids. It may cause increased heart rate and palpitation in some patients, but in my opinion is not at all dangerous, as hundreds of my patients are using it without any trouble. But, if you have some queries, please contact your physician for more details.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, asthalin (salbutamol) is not a very good
drug for long term asthma management due to
1. It has a short duration of action
2. It cannot prevent asthma attacks
3. It can be dangerous for heart (in an unsupervised use, for long period)
fortunately there are better, safer drugs to control asthma.
Since asthma is treated according to its stage, kindly get a pft test done.
Wishing you good health.

Both treatment is not good. Nasivion is not good for long term use as it can cause side effects and reboundcongestion. Salbutamol or asthalin inhaler is only for short term use. You needto assess your lung function and go on a preventer inhaler.
