- Broncotrol is used to relieve symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as coughing, wheezing and breathlessness.
- The inhalers are called 'reliever' inhalers as they give you quick relief from breathing problems.
- Always keep the inhaler upright during loading of the dose and administration steps.
- If you feel a slightly sweet tasting powder in your mouth after inhaling, you have received the dose and the active substance has reached your lungs.
- Always replace the inhaler cap after you have used the inhaler.
- Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat.
- Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help.
- If you need to use Broncotrol more than 3 times a week, it could be a sign that your breathing problem is not well controlled. Talk to your doctor about it.
