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.
The recommended dosage of Bricanyl for adults is usually 0.5 mg to 5 mg taken three times a day. Your doctor will determine the best dose for you based on your condition and response to treatment. It is important not to exceed the prescribed dose or frequency of use. If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but do not double up on doses to make up for a missed one.
