What is Bambudil (Bambuterol) used for?

Bambudil (Bambuterol) is an oral medication used as a long term treatment for asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The medication interacts with beta 2 receptors in the lungs to relax the airways, allowing the patient to breathe more easily. It should be noted that this medication is meant for the long term prevention of asthma attacks and is not meant to be used in the event of an emergency. Always keep an emergency inhaler on hand for these cases.

How should I use Bambudil (Bambuterol)?

Bambudil (Bambuterol) is normally taken at a dosage of one tablet taken each day, but your particular instructions will be determined by your doctor based on your health condition and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed whole and unaltered along with a large glass of water. They may be taken with or without food, but a snack or meal is recommended prior to use if you experience nausea. Do not change the form of the tablets by splitting or crushing them to avoid destroying or altering the effects of their contents. Ask you pharmacist or doctor any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
