Brethin 1.5mg Syrup

Brethin 1.5mg Syrup, made by Platinum Pharmaceuticals Ltd, is a beta-2 agonist bronchodilator. Its active ingredient is Terbutaline 1.5mg, and it is used for asthma, wheezing, bronchospasm and chronic bronchitis. Pack size: brethin 1.5mg/5ml syrup.

Uses of Brethin 1.5mg Syrup

Brethin 1.5mg Syrup is used to relieve and prevent wheezing, chest tightness and breathlessness caused by narrowed airways in asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Tablets and syrups are sometimes used when inhalers are not suitable, and injections are given in hospital for severe asthma attacks. It eases symptoms quickly but does not treat the underlying inflammation, so many people also need a preventer inhaler.

How Brethin 1.5mg Syrup works

Terbutaline is a beta-2 agonist. It stimulates beta-2 receptors on the smooth muscle that surrounds the airways, causing the muscle to relax. The airways open wider, making breathing easier and helping mucus to clear.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Brethin 1.5mg Syrup are often mild and tend to ease with time. They include:

• Shaky hands (tremor)
• Palpitations or a fast heartbeat
• Headache
• Muscle cramps
• Nervousness or restlessness

Get urgent help if your breathing gets worse, your reliever stops helping, or you have chest pain or a very fast or irregular heartbeat.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, an irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid or diabetes.
• Beta-blocker medicines, including some eye drops, can block its effect and may worsen asthma, so check with your doctor.
• Taking it with steroids, diuretics or theophylline can lower potassium levels, and your doctor may check this.
• If you find you need it more often than usual, see your doctor, as your asthma may not be well controlled.
• Ask your doctor before using it during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
