Pulmitac 20mg Tablet

Pulmitac 20mg Tablet contains Bambuterol 20mg, a long-acting oral bronchodilator. Made by Platinum Pharmaceuticals Ltd, it is prescribed for asthma and wheezing. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Pulmitac 20mg Tablet

Pulmitac 20mg Tablet tablets and syrup are used as a regular treatment to prevent asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, cough and breathlessness, including symptoms that wake people at night. Because it is taken by mouth, it can be useful for people who find inhalers difficult. It is a maintenance medicine and does not give quick relief during an asthma attack.

How Pulmitac 20mg Tablet works

Bambuterol is an inactive prodrug that the body slowly converts into terbutaline. Terbutaline stimulates beta-2 receptors in the airway muscles, causing them to relax and the airways to widen. Because the conversion happens gradually, the effect lasts around a full day.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Pulmitac 20mg Tablet are similar to those of other beta-agonists and often ease with time. They include:

• Tremor, especially of the hands
• Palpitations
• Headache
• Muscle cramps
• Restlessness or trouble sleeping

Get urgent help if breathing worsens or your reliever inhaler does not help, or for chest pain or a fast, irregular heartbeat.

Precautions and warnings

• It does not replace a preventer inhaler, and you should keep using any steroid inhaler your doctor has prescribed.
• Tell your doctor about heart disease, an overactive thyroid, diabetes or kidney disease.
• Tell your surgeon or anaesthetist that you take it, as it can prolong the effect of the muscle relaxant suxamethonium.
• Beta-blocker medicines, including some eye drops, can reduce its effect and may worsen asthma.
• Speak to your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
