Bricanyl Turbuhaler Description

Bricanyl Turbuhaler contains Terbutaline Sulfate that can help ease your breathing if you have asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. You may be using a long-acting bronchodilator but require a fast short-acting medication to treat or prevent an asthma attack before exercising or performing other strenuous activities or sports. Bricanyl Turbuhaler delivers a metered dose that begins to work quickly so you can carry on with your daily tasks or for fast relief during an unexpected attack.

Breathing is Easier With Bricanyl Turbuhaler

As a beta agonist medication, Bricanyl Turbuhaler acts on the beta receptors in your lungs that control the muscles lining your airways and caused them to relax. This action allows your airways to open up and make your breathing easier now that you can take in air without being constricted. The effects of Bricanyl Turbuhaler last three to five hours which is usually enough time to carry you through a sudden asthma attack or prevent one from occurring.

Conditions Treated by Bricanyl Turbuhaler

The cause of asthma is still unknown. However, it appears to run in families and the affected person will most likely have allergies as well. When an asthma attack occurs, your airways become swollen and inflamed. This tightens up your air passages and impedes your breathing. An attack may be triggered by strenuous activities, smoke, dust, weather changes, stress, humidity, or air pollution.

COPD usually develops as a result of smoking. There is no cure for COPD and it will keep progressing unless you take charge of your health and prevent it from worsening. Chronic bronchitis is a persistent inflammatory lung condition that causes swollen and irritated respiratory passages and increased mucus production. Air flow becomes hampered from bronchial tubes thickening and the mucus becomes an ideal place for bacteria to set up house and cause infections. Emphysema develops gradually as air sacs in your lungs are permanently damaged so they cannot transfer sufficient amounts of oxygen to your blood stream.

Before You Use Bricanyl Turbuhaler

Ask your doctor about any risks if you use the Bricanyl Turbuhaler while pregnant, if you become pregnant, or when breast feeding. Discuss your medical history with your doctor and explain any OTC and Rx drugs you are taking, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements. Your doctor can then determine if Bricanyl Turbuhaler is the right medicine for you.
