Description:

Bambudil is a bronchodilator that contains Bambuterol, which is a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) used to help treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Bambuterol works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, helping to open them up and making it easier to breathe. It helps prevent the narrowing of airways and improves airflow, thereby relieving symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing.

Uses:

• Asthma: Used as a maintenance treatment for asthma to prevent bronchospasm (narrowing of the airways).

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Helps in the prevention of bronchospasm and reduces symptoms such as shortness of breath.

• Exercise-induced bronchospasm: May be prescribed to prevent bronchospasm triggered by physical activity.

Dosage & Administration:

• Adults and Children over 12 years:

  • Typically, the dosage is 10 mg once daily, preferably taken at the same time each day.

  • If necessary, the doctor may adjust the dosage based on the individual’s response.

• Children (under 12 years):

  • Bambudil is not typically recommended for use in children below 12 years unless prescribed by a doctor.

How to Use:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Do not chew or crush the tablet.

• Take it at the same time each day to help remember.
