What is a Bricanyl Inhaler?

A Bricanyl Inhaler is a prescription medicine used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It contains terbutaline sulphate, which belongs to a group of medicines called beta agonists. Bricanyl is known as a reliever inhaler because it provides quick relief from symptoms like wheezing, tight chest, and breathlessness.

Terbutaline is also available in syrup or tablet form, but the inhaler delivers the medicine straight to the lungs for faster results.

How does Bricanyl work?

Bricanyl is a bronchodilator, which means it helps open up the airways in your lungs. It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, making it easier to breathe. This is especially useful during asthma attacks or sudden breathing difficulties caused by COPD.

What are the benefits of using a Bricanyl Inhaler?

• Fast-acting relief from tight chest, coughing, and breathlessness

• Helps open airways quickly during asthma or COPD flare-ups

• Easy to use and works within minutes

• Can improve overall breathing comfort during exercise or allergy exposure

Always follow your doctor’s advice and carry your Bricanyl inhaler with you if you’re prone to sudden breathing problems.

How do I use the Bricanyl Inhaler?

The Bricanyl Inhaler contains a medicine called terbutaline, which helps people with asthma or COPD breathe more easily. It’s a reliever inhaler, which means it works quickly to open your airways when you're feeling short of breath or wheezy.

How to use it properly (step-by-step):

1. Prepare the inhaler:

   • Hold the inhaler upright.

   • Turn the blue grip at the bottom all the way in one direction, then back again until you hear a click. That means it’s ready.

2. Get ready to inhale:

   • Breathe out fully, away from the inhaler.

   • Place the mouthpiece between your lips.

   • Breathe in steadily and deeply through your mouth.

3. After use:

   • Rinse your mouth with water. This helps stop any leftover medicine in your mouth from being absorbed into your body and causing side effects.

Important tips:

• Always follow your doctor’s instructions.

• Use the inhaler just before exercise or before being around things that trigger your asthma (like dust or pollen).

• It usually works for up to 5 hours after each dose.

• Make sure you know how to use it correctly – if not, ask your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for help.

Using Bricanyl the right way helps your lungs get the full benefit of the medicine and keeps you breathing easier.

What is the recommended dosage?

The usual dose of Bricanyl Inhaler is one puff (inhalation) when you need it — like when you’re feeling breathless or wheezy.

• Do not take more than 4 puffs in 24 hours.

• Each puff can help you breathe easier for up to 6 hours.

Always follow the instructions from your doctor or pharmacist, and only use it when you really need relief. If you find you’re needing it more often, speak to your GP as your treatment plan may need reviewing.

What are the side effects of Bricanyl Inhaler?

Like all medicines, Bricanyl Inhaler can cause side effects, although not everyone will get them. Most are mild and go away on their own.

Common side effects:

• Headache

• Shaking or trembling hands

• Fast or pounding heartbeat

• Muscle cramps

• Low potassium levels (can make you feel tired or weak)

Less common side effects:

• Feeling flushed (hot or red face)

Remember:

If your inhaler suddenly makes your breathing worse, stop using it and speak to your doctor straight away.

If you’re using Bricanyl more often than normal, or it stops working as well, your condition might be getting worse. Speak to your GP – you may need a different treatment.
