1.
WHAT BRICANYL RESPULES ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR
Bricanyl Respules contain a medicine called terbutaline. This belongs
to a group of medicines
called ‘beta-agonists’. These work by relaxing certain muscles and
opening up the airways in
the lungs.

Bricanyl Respules are used for asthma and other breathing problems
where you have a
tight chest and difficulty breathing.

Bricanyl should not be used alone for the regular treatment of asthma
or other breathing
conditions. If you are using Bricanyl every day then your doctor
should have also
prescribed you another type of medication such as an “inhaled
corticosteroid”, which
helps reduce the swelling and inflammation in your lungs.

A Respule is a small plastic container that contains a liquid. The
liquid is put into a
machine called a nebuliser. This machine turns the medicine into a
fine mist which you
breathe in through a face mask or mouthpiece.
