Description

The Bricanyl turboinhaler is a prescription medication used to treat asthma and other respiratory illnesses. It is a type of bronchodilator, which means it opens up the airways in the lungs to allow for easier breathing. The Bricanyl turboinhaler comes as an aerosol spray that is inhaled through the mouth. It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, which reduces inflammation and makes it easier to breathe. The Bricanyl turboinhaler should be used regularly to help control asthma symptoms and prevent flare-ups.

How Does Bricanyl Turboinhaler Work?

Bricanyl turboinhaler is a medication used to treat bronchospasm, which is a narrowing of the airways in the lungs. Bronchospasm can be caused by a number of things, including asthma, allergies, and exercise. Bricanyl turboinhaler works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, which opens them up and makes it easier to breathe. It is important to note that Bricanyl turboinhaler is not a cure for bronchospasm, but it can help to relieve symptoms and make it easier to breathe. If you are experiencing bronchospasm, talk to your doctor about whether Bricanyl turboinhaler is the right medication for you.

The medication is commonly used to treat asthma, emphysema, wheezing, shortness of breath, swelling and irritation of the airwaves, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

FAQs

1. How should I use Bricanyl Turbohaler?

Twist the blue grip at the bottom of the inhaler as far as it will go in both directions to prepare a dose. Exhale fully, then inhale through the mouthpiece with a deep, steady breath. Do not exceed four doses within 24 hours. Rinse your mouth with water after each use to prevent side effects.

Yes, Bricanyl can be used alongside steroid inhalers that help prevent asthma attacks. Always consult your doctor before combining different inhalers.
