Product Description:
- Trimbow is an inhaler prescribed for adults to manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
It combines three active ingredients:
- Beclometasone Dipropionate: A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation in the lungs.
- Formoterol Fumarate Dihydrate: A long-acting beta-2 agonist that relaxes airway muscles, aiding in easier breathing.
- Glycopyrronium Bromide: A long-acting muscarinic antagonist that helps keep airways open.
How to Use Trimbow Inhaler:
- Preparation: Remove the protective cap and shake the inhaler well.
- Exhalation: Breathe out fully, away from the inhaler.
- Inhalation: Place the mouthpiece between your lips, forming a tight seal. Begin to breathe in slowly and deeply while pressing down on the canister to release a dose.
- Breath Holding: After inhaling, hold your breath for about 10 seconds or as long as comfortable.
- Repeat: If a second dose is prescribed, wait about 30 seconds and repeat the steps.
- After Use: Replace the protective cap and rinse your mouth with water to reduce the risk of side effects like oral thrush.
It's essential to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and frequency.
Regular use is crucial, even if you feel well, to effectively manage your condition.
Warnings and Precautions:
- Allergies: Do not use Trimbow if you're allergic to any of its components.
- Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have heart problems, high blood pressure, infections, thyroid issues, diabetes, or any other significant health concerns.
