Bricanyl Turbohaler is used for asthma and other breathing problems characterized by difficulty in breathing.

Terbutaline is a drug from the group of adrenergic receptor agonists with bronchodilator actions, which is why it is indicated in medicine in the short-term treatment of asthma, and of pulmonary obstructions such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis, as well as a Tocolytic to delay possible preterm birth or intrapartum fetal resuscitation. There are no long-term benefits of using terbutaline to prevent preterm delivery, especially compared to the number of side effects from the use of this medicine as tocolytic.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Bricanyl Turbohaler is a prescription-only inhaler and is prescribed to patients who need relief from asthma and COPD-related symptoms. Generally, Bricanyl Turbohalers can be used by patients who are over the age of 6. You should not use a Bricanyl Turbohaler if you have heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, epilepsy, or thyroid disorders. You should consult your GP to see if this medicine is suitable for you.

Yes, because the Bricanyl Turbohaler is a fast-acting reliever inhaler, this means it can be used for asthma attacks. The Bricanyl Turbohaler can open the airways almost immediately after taking your initial dose and can provide relief from asthma symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, and a tight chest. Once you have taken this dose, you should be able to feel the effects of symptom relief for up to 6 hours. However, you should ideally take the Bricanyl Turbohaler with a preventer inhaler, as this particular inhaler is not designed to control long-term asthma symptoms. Make sure you keep your Bricanyl Turbohaler with you at all times in case of emergencies.

Just like the name suggests, the Bricanyl Turbohaler starts working almost immediately, within a few minutes of administering a puff during an asthma attack or the onset of asthma symptoms, to provide relief. Once administered, the Bricanyl Turbohaler can stay in your system and provide relief for up to 6 hours. To make the most of your Bricanyl Turbohaler, you should ensure that you are correctly inhaling the medicine. Once you master your inhaler technique, you can start to feel the relief that the Bricanyl Turbohaler provides more effectively. You can buy the Bricanyl Turbohaler online in the UK via Pharmacy Planet if you have previously been prescribed this medicine by your GP or healthcare provider.

Yes, the Bricanyl Turbohaler can be used before exercise to prevent asthma symptoms from arising. You should take one puff around 15 minutes prior to planned exercise so you can keep your airways open and symptoms at bay whilst exercising. However, as this is not a preventer inhaler, it shouldn’t be used too frequently. If the Bricanyl Turbohaler is overused, it can potentially lead to muscle cramps, dizziness, or an irregular heartbeat, which can be dangerous during exercise. If you find yourself reaching for your Bricanyl Turbohaler more frequently, you should visit your healthcare professional and discuss the possibility of having a preventer inhaler to work alongside your Bricanyl Turbohaler. You can find other preventer inhalers online at Pharmacy Planet.

You can use the Bricanyl Turbohaler alongside other inhalers that include ingredients like Beclometasone, Budesonide, or Fluticasone – this is usually what the Bricanyl Turbohaler is prescribed alongside to ensure long-term asthma control. This particular inhaler may interact with medicines that are classified as beta-blockers, diuretics, and specific antidepressants. You shouldn’t exceed the recommended dose that your healthcare provider has suggested, as this can exacerbate side effects.

Make sure that you stick to the dosage recommendations that your healthcare provider advises. If you go over your recommended usage, you may experience the following symptoms of overdose: shakiness or tremors, irregular or rapid heartbeat, headache or dizziness, nausea or vomiting, and low potassium levels (which can cause muscle weakness and thirst). If these symptoms are mild, they should go away on their own; however, if symptoms are severe, then you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Be sure to keep this inhaler away from children under the age of 6.
