Pharmacology

Comfil 2 mg is a single isomer beta-2 agonist that differs from racemic salbutamol by elimination of (S)-salbutamol.

Absorption

Comfil 2 mg is an effective bronchodilator whose primary mechanism of action is not inhibited by (S)-salbutamol.

Distribution

Thus, when compared with racemic salbutamol, clinically comparable bronchodilation can be achieved.

Metabolism

Comfil 2 mg produces bronchodilatation through stimulation of beta-2-adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscles, thereby causing relaxation of bronchial muscle fibres.
