Bricanyl Respules are a terbutaline nebuliser solution, designed to provide effective relief from bronchoconstriction and airway obstruction. The active ingredient, terbutaline, is a beta-agonist which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, allowing for improved airflow and breathing. Bricanyl Respules are suitable for use in adults and children over 6 years of age, and can provide fast-acting relief from asthma symptoms and other respiratory conditions. If you or your child suffer from bronchoconstriction or difficulty breathing, Bricanyl Respules may be the ideal solution.
What is Bricanyl Respules – Terbutaline Nebuliser Solution used for?
Bricanyl Respules are used for asthma and other breathing problems where you have a tight chest and difficulty breathing.
Bricanyl should not be used alone for the regular treatment of asthma or other breathing conditions. If you are using Bricanyl every day then your doctor should have also prescribed you another type of medication such as an “inhaled corticosteroid”, which helps reduce the swelling and inflammation in your lungs.
A Respule is a small plastic container that contains a liquid. The liquid is put into a machine called a nebuliser. This machine turns the medicine into a fine mist which you breathe in through a face mask or mouthpiece.

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
The solution in a Respule must be put into a nebuliser and made into a fine mist before it can be breathed in. It is then inhaled through a face mask or mouthpiece. Instructions for using your nebuliser are given after the section ‘How much to take’.
Children under 18 years should only use a nebuliser to take reliever medications under the care of a doctor with expertise in the management of asthma so that deterioration in asthma control can be detected and treated without delay.
Only use the nebuliser recommended by your doctor and supervise your child while they are using the nebuliser.
Seek urgent medical assistance if the nebulised medication is not working, even if there is short-term recovery following use of prescribed nebulised medication.
How much to take
The recommended dose is:
Adults: 1 to 2 Respules, 2 to 4 times a day
Children over 8 years: 1 Respule, 2 to 4 times a day
Younger children are usually prescribed lower doses.
Instructions for using Bricanyl Respules
1. Break off a Respule from the strip. Leave the rest in the foil envelope.
2. Hold upright. Twist off the top of the Respule to open.
3. Place the open end of the Respule firmly inside the nebuliser cup. Squeeze slowly to put the liquid in the cup.
4. Throw the empty Respule away. Put the top back on the nebuliser cup.
5. Connect the top of the cup to the face mask or mouthpiece.
6. Connect the bottom of the cup to the air pump. The air pump should be connected to the compressor unit.
7. Turn on the nebuliser and breathe in the mist calmly and deeply using the face mask or mouthpiece. If you are using a face mask, make sure the face mask fits tightly.
8. You will know when your treatment is complete because the fine mist will stop coming out of your mask or mouthpiece.
9. How long it takes to nebulise all the medicine depends on the type of equipment you use. It will also depend on the amount of medicine to be used.
10. After each use, you must wash the nebuliser cup and mouthpiece (or face mask) in warm soapy water and rinse well. After washing, dry these parts by turning on the compressor and allowing air to blow through them.
