Ventilate is a prescription drug, hence do not take Ventilate without consulting doctor. It can be harmful for patients to take this medicine without a doctor's advice.

Dr. R.K Singh MBBS , Diabetology

Ventilate is a bronchodilator which causes widening of bronchial smooth muscles present in lungs which get tightened causing a constriction. Due to the constriction, the air cannot pass in and out of your lungs, and the relaxation of these bronchial muscles results in dilation of airways. This drug helps the patients breathe more easily which provides relief to the patient from the symptoms such as a cough, wheezing, and chest tightness.

Dr. Suhas Bhargav MBBS , General Physician

Yes, Ventilate causes dry mouth because it decreases the saliva secretion in your mouth. It is a common side effect of this drug. If you experience severe dry mouth after taking this drug, keep yourself hydrated with juices, shakes and ample water.
