Indications

Bronchospasm: Brodil Inhaler is indicated for the treatment or prevention of bronchospasm in bronchial asthma and for the treatment of reversible airway obstruction associated with bronchitis and emphysema.

Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm: Brodil Inhaler may be used to relieve attacks of acute dyspnoea and may also be taken prophylactically before exertion or to prevent exercise-induced.

Pharmacology

Salbutamol is a selective β2-adrenoceptor agonist. At therapeutic doses, it acts on the β2-adrenoceptors of bronchial smooth muscle, with little or no action on the β1-adrenoceptors of cardiac muscle. Salbutamol provides short-acting (4-6 hours) bronchodilatation with a fast onset (within 5 minutes) in reversible airway obstruction. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect on mast cells causing inhibition of release of bronchoconstrictor mediators including histamine, neutrophil chemotactive factor (NCF) and prostaglandin D2.

Precautions

Paradoxical Bronchospasm: Inhaled Brodil sulfate can produce paradoxical bronchospasm, which may be life-threatening. If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs, the Brodil inhaler should be discontinued immediately and alternative therapy instituted. It should be recognized that paradoxical bronchospasm when associated with inhaled formulations; frequently occurs with the first use of a new canister.

Cardiovascular Effects: Brodil inhaler, like all other β2-adrenergic agonists, can produce clinically significant cardiovascular effects in some patients such as changes in pulse rate or blood pressure. If such effects occur, Brodil inhaler may need to be discontinued. In addition, beta-agonists have been reported to produce electrocardiograms (ECG) changes, such as flattening of the T wave, prolongation of the QTc interval, and ST-segment depression. The clinical relevance of these findings is unknown. Therefore, Brodil inhaler, like all other sympathomimetic amines, should be used with caution in patients with underlying cardiovascular disorders, especially coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, and hypertension.

Immediate Hypersensitivity Reactions: Immediate hypersensitivity reactions may occur after administration of Brodil sulfate inhalation aerosol, as demonstrated by cases of urticaria, angioedema, rash, bronchospasm, anaphylaxis, and oropharyngeal edema. Discontinue Brodil inhaler if immediate hypersensitivity reactions occur.

Coexisting Conditions: Brodil inhaler, like other sympathomimetic amines, should be used with caution in patients with convulsive disorders, hyperthyroidism, or diabetes mellitus and in patients who are unusually responsive to sympathomimetic amines. Large doses of intravenous Brodil have been reported to aggravate preexisting diabetes mellitus and ketoacidosis.
