4.2        Posology and method of administration
BRICALIN RESPIRATOR SOLUTION
The usual dose of terbutaline by wet aerosol is 2-5 mg or up to 10 mg in severe cases.
Administration of Bricalin Respirator Solution can be via a nebulizer or an intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) machine.
Bricalin Respirator Solution must be diluted with sterile physiological saline to ensure delivery of the correct dose. Such dilution will depend on two factors: the period of time over which the dose is to be delivered, and the design of the equipment used to deliver the solution (capacity, dead space, etc...).
Administration over a short period of time in a machine capable of completely utilizing small volumes of liquid (e.g. Bird Respirator) may indicate little, if any dilution (e.g. 3- 5 ml).
Use of a nebulae such as Ventimask, Wright or De-Vilbiss, requires a dilution suited to the equipment and administration time. For such chronic administration, Bricalin Respirator Solution should be given at a rate of 1-2 mg per hour in a solution of 100 mcg/ml (1:100 dilution).
Once the bottle has been opened, the contents should be used within 3 months.
BRICALIN TURBUHALER
Note: Bricalin Turbuhaler should be stored with the cover tightened.
Bricalin Turbuhaler should be administered to children, only under adult supervision.
The usual dosage for adults and children is 1 inhalation repeated every 6 hours. Dosing should not be repeated more often than every 4 to 6 hours.
The use of Bricalin Turbuhaler can be continued as medically indicated to control recurring bouts of bronchospasm.

Notes for Bricalin Respirator Solution, Bricalin Turbuhaler
As initial therapy, inhaled bronchodilators should be used as required, rather than regularly.
If a previously effective dosage regimen no longer provides the same symptomatic relief, the patient should seek medical advice as soon as possible, since this could be a sign of worsening asthma. Repeated inhalations of β2-agonists must not delay reassessment of the asthma therapy.
