Bambuzaf 5 mg|5ml Syrup

Bambuzaf 5 mg|5ml Syrup contains Bambuterol 5mg, a long-acting oral bronchodilator. Made by Zafa Pharmaceutical Labortories Ltd, it is prescribed for asthma and wheezing. Pack size: 60 ml syrup.

Uses of Bambuzaf 5 mg|5ml Syrup

Bambuzaf 5 mg|5ml Syrup 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 Bambuzaf 5 mg|5ml Syrup 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 Bambuzaf 5 mg|5ml Syrup 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, 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.
