Description

Bricanyl Turbohaler is a dry powder inhaler used to relieve and prevent bronchospasm in asthma and COPD. It delivers terbutaline sulfate, a short-acting beta2 adrenergic agonist that provides fast, effective relief from wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness. It is suitable for use in both adults and children over five years of age.

How It Works
Terbutaline stimulates beta2 receptors in the bronchial muscles, causing them to relax and the airways to widen. This bronchodilating effect occurs within minutes of inhalation, making it an effective treatment for acute symptoms or for use prior to exercise. The Turbohaler device delivers the medication as a dry powder that is activated by the user’s own breath, ensuring accurate lung delivery without the need for a propellant.

Why Choose Bricanyl Turbohaler
Bricanyl Turbohaler offers fast and reliable symptom relief in a breath-actuated device that is easy to use, portable, and propellant-free. It does not require shaking or coordination, making it suitable for a wide range of patients. Each inhaler contains 100 doses, and its compact design makes it convenient for use at home or on the go. It’s also suitable for patients sensitive to other reliever inhalers like salbutamol.

Important Note
Frequent need for Bricanyl Turbohaler may indicate poor control of your asthma or COPD. It is not a substitute for maintenance treatment. Overuse can cause unwanted side effects like palpitations and tremors. Always carry your inhaler, but consult your healthcare provider if symptoms worsen or relief becomes less effective. Do not exceed the prescribed dose.
