Bricanyl

Description

Bricanyl is a medication that contains terbutaline sulfate as its active ingredient. It belongs to a class of drugs known as beta-2 adrenergic agonists, which work by relaxing the muscles in the airways, making it easier for you to breathe. This medication is suitable for individuals with conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to help relieve symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
