Brodil SR Capsule contains Salbutamol 8 mg, a sustained-release (SR) bronchodilator designed to provide prolonged relief from bronchospasm associated with respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Unlike immediate-release formulations, Brodil SR Capsule is designed to release Salbutamol gradually over time, maintaining consistent therapeutic levels in the bloodstream and reducing the frequency of doses. This improves patient compliance and helps in better management of chronic respiratory symptoms.

Salbutamol is a short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist (SABA). It relaxes bronchial smooth muscles, resulting in bronchodilation, improved airflow, and relief from wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness.

Indications

Brodil SR Capsule is indicated for:

• Maintenance treatment of bronchospasm in asthma
• Management of COPD symptoms
• Relief of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction
• Long-acting symptom control for patients requiring extended bronchodilation

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Salbutamol
• Strength: 8 mg per capsule
• Dosage Form: Sustained-release oral capsule

Mechanism of Action

Salbutamol selectively stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscles. This activates adenylate cyclase, increasing cyclic AMP levels, which relaxes airway muscles and results in bronchodilation.

The sustained-release formulation ensures a prolonged duration of action, providing continuous symptom relief and reducing peaks and troughs in drug levels. This improves control over chronic symptoms while minimizing the need for multiple daily doses.

Dosage & Administration

• Children: Use only under medical supervision; dosing must be adjusted according to age and body weight
• Swallow the capsule whole; do not crush or chew
