Frequently asked questions FOR Bammon

Bambuterol

Q. How does Bambuterol work?
Bambuterol works by widening the air passages in your lungs so that air can flow into your lungs more freely. For people with asthma, Bambuterol helps to relieve symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath, particularly at night.
Q. How should I take Bambuterol?
Bambuterol should be taken in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Bambuterol can be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day to reduce the chances of a missed dose. However, it is advisable to take Bambuterol just before bedtime with a glass of water.
Q. What if I forget to take a dose of Bambuterol?
If you forget a dose of Bambuterol, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, take it in the regular schedule instead of taking the missed dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.

Q. I have started using Bambuterol and I am experiencing headaches and shakiness. Is this because of Bambuterol and will these go away?
Yes, it could be due to Bambuterol. Feeling shaky is a common side effect of Bambuterol which goes away after some time. For headaches, drink plenty of water, get sufficient rest and avoid alcohol. Usually, headaches go away after a week. If they persist for a long time, contact your doctor.
