Benefits of Ventibro Capsule

In Treatment of Asthma

Ventibro Capsule can help prevent the onset of an asthma attack if it is taken before exercise or exposure to some “triggers”. These may include house dust, pollen, pets and cigarette smoke. This medicine will allow you to exercise more freely without worrying about getting symptoms such as wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath. It allows you to live your life more freely without worrying so much about things that set off your symptoms.

In Treatment of Bronchitis

Bronchitis leads to chest congestion and wheezing. Ventibro Capsule relieves symptoms of bronchitis by clearing congestion and relaxing airways.

In Treatment of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Ventibro Capsule helps the airways in your lungs stay open. It relaxes the muscles of these airways. This makes it easier for air to get in and out. It will relieve symptoms such as tightness in your chest, shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing and help you carry out your daily activities more easily. This medicine is safe and effective. It usually starts to work within a few minutes and the effects can last up to several hours. Do not stop using it unless you are advised to by your doctor.
