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. These side effects generally resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist for longer, please consult your doctor. Bricanyl Syrup 100 ml is a prescription medicine and should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will decide the dose of the medicine based on the severity of the condition.

This helps provide relief from bronchospasm associated with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It relieves symptoms such as cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and trouble breathing by increasing airflow through the bronchial tubes.

• Eat a healthy diet, especially green leafy vegetables, and strictly do not consume alcohol or caffeine (coffee, tea, cola and chocolate).
• Drink plenty of fluids daily to thin mucus, making it easier to cough out.
• Smoking should be avoided while taking Bricanyl Syrup 100 ml as it can alter the blood levels of terbutaline, which may affect the dosing.
• Maintaining hygiene, like washing hands after coming from outside, is very important as people with asthma/COPD are at a greater risk of infections.
• Stay active and do regular exercise to improve quality of life and increase tolerance to shortness of breath.
• Do meditation, deep breathing, regular exercise, and try progressive muscle relaxation techniques to get relief from stress and reduce the risk of an asthma attack.

• The doctor may suggest some tests to know the root cause of the respiratory disorder, such as Spirometry (check the narrowing of bronchial tubes) and Peak flow (check how difficult it is to exhale).
• Please avoid the use of Tobacco and Marijuana as it decreases the efficacy of Bricanyl Syrup 100 ml. 
• If you have a glucose test or lipid profile test, let your doctor know about this, as prolonged use of Bricanyl Syrup 100 ml may increase glucose levels and free fatty acid in the body. 

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. The treatment for asthma includes medication, breathing exercises and self-care.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): It is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes). The major cause of COPD is smoking tobacco. Also, long-term exposure to fumes and chemicals may lead to COPD. The symptoms include chronic cough, shortness of breath or wheezing (whistle sound while breathing).
