About Bricanyl Syrup 100 ml

Bricanyl Syrup 100 ml is a respiratory medicine given for bronchospasm. It is indicated for preventing and reversing bronchospasms (wheezing, chest tightness, trouble breathing) associated with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of long-term lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes) causing restricted airways. Bricanyl Syrup 100 ml helps reduce symptoms of asthma and COPD.

Bricanyl Syrup 100 ml contains Terbutaline, which belongs to the class of bronchodilators. It works by relaxing and opening the air passages in the lungs, making breathing easier. This helps provide relief from bronchospasm associated with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Bricanyl Syrup 100 ml may cause certain side effects such as stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, nausea, sweating, restlessness, nervousness, and dry mouth.

Asthma: It is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. The symptoms of asthma include wheezing (whistling sound while breathing), shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough, especially at night. The symptoms of mild persistent asthma may occur more than two times a week and up to 4 nights a month, whereas, in the case of severe persistent asthma, the symptoms occur several times every day and most nights.
