Berodual solution 0.25mg + 0.5mg/ml 20ml

What is Berodual?

Berodual is a combination inhalation medication containing ipratropium bromide and fenoterol hydrobromide. These active ingredients work together to relax and widen the airways, making breathing easier. It is often prescribed for bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and other lung conditions involving bronchospasm or airway obstruction.

How Does Berodual Work?

Ipratropium bromide is an anticholinergic agent that blocks the nerve signals that cause airway muscles to tighten. Fenoterol hydrobromide is a beta2-adrenergic receptor stimulant that relaxes bronchial muscles and reduces airway inflammation. Together, they improve airflow, reduce spasms, and help clear mucus.

Forms and Composition

• Solution for inhalation: Clear, colorless liquid in 2 ml dropper bottles, used with nebulizers.
• Dosed aerosol inhaler: Portable 10 ml canister with mouthpiece, providing 200 inhalations.
• Each 1 ml of solution contains 0.25 mg ipratropium bromide and 0.5 mg fenoterol hydrobromide.

Who Can Use Berodual?

Berodual is suitable for adults and children over 6 years old (with doctor-recommended dosage). It may be prescribed for:

• Bronchial asthma (allergic, exercise-induced, and other types)
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with bronchospasm
• Chronic bronchitis with airway obstruction
• Emphysema
• Preparation before inhalation of antibiotics or corticosteroids

How to Use Berodual

Aerosol Inhaler

• Remove the protective cap before use.
• If not used for 3 days, release one spray to prime the inhaler.
• Exhale deeply, place lips around the mouthpiece, and inhale deeply while pressing the canister once.
• After inhaling, replace the cap.

Dosage: Adults and children over 6 years use 2 inhalations during an acute attack. If no relief after 5 minutes, repeat up to 2 more inhalations. For ongoing treatment, 1-2 inhalations up to 3 times daily, not exceeding 8 doses per day.

Nebulizer Solution

Dilute with 0.9% sodium chloride solution as directed. Use a nebulizer device for inhalation. Dosage varies by age and condition; consult your doctor for specific instructions.

Possible Side Effects

Berodual may cause some side effects due to its active ingredients, including:

• Dry mouth, throat irritation, cough
• Headache, dizziness, tremor
• Increased heart rate, palpitations
• Rarely, allergic reactions, eye irritation, or muscle cramps

If you experience severe symptoms or signs of overdose (such as chest pain, severe palpitations, or difficulty breathing), seek medical help immediately.

Precautions and Contraindications

• Not recommended in the first trimester of pregnancy
• Use caution with heart rhythm disorders, high blood pressure, glaucoma, and prostate enlargement
• Not suitable for patients allergic to any component

Storage Instructions

Store Berodual inhaler and solution below 30°C, out of reach of children. Shelf life: 5 years.

Is Berodual a Hormonal Drug?

No, Berodual is not hormonal. It works by relaxing airway muscles using anticholinergic and beta-agonist actions without affecting hormonal balance.

Berodual vs Ventolin and Salbutamol

Berodual combines two bronchodilators, offering broader effects than Ventolin (fenoterol only) or Salbutamol alone. It is often preferred for chronic obstructive lung diseases, while Salbutamol remains common for acute asthma attacks.

Berodual for Children

Safe for children over 6 with adjusted dosages. It helps relieve airway spasms and improves breathing in various lung conditions and some types of cough.

Berodual During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Use with caution. Avoid in the first and third trimesters due to potential effects on uterine muscles. Breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before use.
