Efficacy & effects

Maintenance treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease through bronchodilation

  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
View approved original text

This medication is used as a bronchodilator for the maintenance therapy of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), relieving symptoms of chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis or emphysema and making breathing easier. It relaxes the muscles in the bronchi to promote airflow, improving shortness of breath. Therefore, it helps maintain a more comfortable daily life for patients with COPD.

Dosage and Administration

Adult dosage

Inhale one spray twice daily.

Children's dosage

Do not administer to children under 18 years of age.

Precautions

This medication is a bronchodilator that should be used twice a day to help maintain open airways. It should not be used as an emergency treatment in cases of acute bronchospasm. If you experience increased tightening of the airways after using the medication, discontinue use immediately and consult your physician. It is advisable not to use this medication in patients with asthma, as its safety and efficacy have not been clearly demonstrated. The medication contains anticholinergic components, so care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes. Patients with glaucoma should be particularly cautious. Additionally, patients with urinary retention issues should use this medication carefully, and if there are any urination problems, they should consult their physician immediately. Using this medication may cause dry mouth; hence, oral hygiene must be maintained to prevent the risk of cavities. An allergic reaction can occur immediately after use, so stop using the medication and seek treatment if symptoms appear. Those allergic to this medication or its ingredients, individuals with asthma, and those with specific genetic lactose issues or severe milk protein allergies should not use it. Patients with heart conditions, glaucoma, prostate enlargement, seizure disorders, thyroid issues, hypokalemia, diabetes, or pheochromocytoma should be particularly cautious when using this medication. Common side effects include symptoms of a cold, headache, cough, dry mouth, and diarrhea, while serious side effects can occur infrequently. Cardiovascular effects such as arrhythmia or increased blood pressure may arise, so inform your physician if such symptoms occur. Using this medication with other bronchodilators or certain medications may increase side effects, so it is essential to consult your physician if you are taking other medications. If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your physician before using this medication, and it is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. Overdosing may result in blurred vision, dry mouth, headache, and palpitations, requiring immediate cessation of use and hospital treatment. Proper inhaler technique should be followed, and check the remaining medication in the inhaler; replace it with a new medication if it runs low. Keep the medication out of reach of children and store it in the designated container to ensure safety.
