Description

Pulmitac 10mg is a prescription bronchodilator tablet used in the long-term management of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Each pack contains 20 tablets, with every tablet delivering 10mg of the active compound Bambuterol, a long-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist. Bambuterol is a prodrug that the body gradually converts into its active form, which then relaxes the smooth muscles surrounding the airways. This relaxation widens the air passages in the lungs, making it easier to breathe and reducing symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Because of its gradual, sustained action, Pulmitac is typically used as a maintenance therapy rather than for the rapid relief of a sudden asthma attack, and it is manufactured to meet strict pharmaceutical quality standards.

Ingredients

Each Pulmitac 10mg tablet contains Bambuterol Hydrochloride, equivalent to 10mg of bambuterol, as its active pharmaceutical ingredient. The tablet also contains standard pharmaceutical excipients such as fillers, binding agents, disintegrants, and a lubricant, which together give the tablet its shape, stability, and ease of swallowing.

Dosage Form

Pulmitac is available as an oral tablet, supplied in a pack containing 20 tablets. The tablet form allows for convenient, consistent daily dosing as part of a long-term respiratory management plan.

Uses

Pulmitac 10mg is primarily used for the long-term control of symptoms associated with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It helps reduce the frequency and severity of bronchospasm, wheezing, coughing, and breathlessness, and supports improved airflow and lung function over time. It is generally intended for maintenance use to help prevent symptoms from occurring, rather than for immediate relief once an attack has already started. The specific condition and suitability of this medicine should always be confirmed by a physician.

How to Use

Pulmitac tablets should only be taken as prescribed by a doctor. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and should not be crushed, chewed, or sucked. It is generally taken once daily, often at bedtime, or as otherwise directed based on the patient’s condition and response to treatment. It can usually be taken with or without food. Because bambuterol works gradually, this medicine is not suitable for treating a sudden asthma attack; a fast-acting rescue inhaler should be used for immediate symptom relief, as advised by a doctor. Dosage should never be increased beyond what has been prescribed, as this raises the risk of side effects.

Side Effects

Pulmitac is generally well tolerated when used as directed, but some side effects can occur. Commonly reported effects include mild tremor, headache, restlessness, and a noticeable increase in heart rate or palpitations. Muscle cramps and sleep disturbances have also been reported by some patients. Less commonly, more serious effects such as significant changes in heart rhythm, chest pain, or a paradoxical worsening of breathing may occur, and these require prompt medical attention. Anyone experiencing severe palpitations, chest pain, or difficulty breathing after taking this medicine should seek immediate medical care.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should consult their doctor before taking Pulmitac 10mg. The use of bambuterol during pregnancy or lactation should only be considered if a physician determines that the benefits clearly outweigh any potential risks, and it should never be started or continued without medical guidance in these circumstances.

Storage Instructions

Store Pulmitac tablets at room temperature, in a dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and excess moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until ready for use, and store out of the reach and sight of children. Do not use the medicine beyond its printed expiry date, and dispose of any unused or expired tablets responsibly.
