How to use Bricanyl Turbohaler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bricanyl&nbsp;Turbohaler is&nbsp;powered solely by your own inhalation.&nbsp;The medicine accompanies the inhaled air into the airways.&nbsp;It is therefore important that you inhale deeply and strongly when taking your&nbsp;dose.&nbsp;The amount of active substances in each&nbsp;dose&nbsp;is very small.&nbsp;You may not feel any taste or otherwise notice the medicine.&nbsp;If you follow the instructions at the end of this leaflet, you can still be sure that you have inhaled&nbsp;dose&nbsp;one.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With each&nbsp;inhalation, some of the medicine may get stuck inside the mouth and in the throat.&nbsp;To reduce the risk of&nbsp;side effects, it is recommended that you rinse your mouth with water after using Bricanyl&nbsp;Turbohaler, if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you take more Bricanyl Turbohaler than you should<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, it is possible for&nbsp;inhalation powder to&nbsp;accumulate in the mouthpiece of the Bricanyl&nbsp;Turbohaler.&nbsp;This powder may come loose if the inhaler is dropped or dropped (eg from a table).&nbsp;To limit unnecessary exposure to the active substance, the mouth should be rinsed after each&nbsp;inhalation.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Possible side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all medicines, this medicine can cause&nbsp;side effects, although not everybody gets them.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;that Bricanyl&nbsp;Turbohaler&nbsp;can cause usually occur at the beginning of treatment and usually disappear within 1-2 weeks.&nbsp;If&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;persist or are bothersome or if you notice any&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;not mentioned in this leaflet, please tell your doctor or pharmacist.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Serious&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;are<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>No known frequency (cannot be calculated from the available data):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chest pain (due to heart problems such as angina (&nbsp;angina pectoris&nbsp;)).&nbsp;<strong>If this happens, tell your doctor or nurse immediately.&nbsp;<\/strong>However, you should not stop using the medicine unless your doctor tells you to.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Other&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;ar<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Very common (affects more than 1 user in 10):<\/em>&nbsp;Tremors, headache.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Common (affects more than 1 user in 100):<\/em>&nbsp;Low blood potassium, palpitations, muscle cramps.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>No known frequency (can not be calculated from the available data):<\/em>&nbsp;Restlessness, overactivity,&nbsp;agitation&nbsp;and sleep disorders, irregular heartbeat,&nbsp;bronchospasm(a contraction of the muscles of the trachea, which produces wheezing), nausea,&nbsp;itching, rash.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reporting of side effects<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.&nbsp;This includes any possible side effects not listed in this leaflet.&nbsp;You can also report side effects directly to the Medical Products Agency,&nbsp;www.lakemedelsverket.se.&nbsp;By reporting side effects, you can help increase drug safety information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. How to store Bricanyl Turbohaler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Store the inhaler with the protective sleeve on.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not use this medicine after the expiry date which is stated on the inhaler and pack after EXP.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medicines should not be disposed of via wastewater or household waste.&nbsp;Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medicines no longer required.&nbsp;These measures will help to protect the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.
