Inhalation is one of the modern methods of therapy for bronchial asthma and other pathological processes in the bronchi and lungs. The session is carried out using a nebulizer inhaler, which is pre-dressed with a drug.
The drug market offers many drugs in the treatment of pulmonary and bronchial malformations. The medicine for inhalation Berodual is one of them. Berodual's instructions for inhalation indicate that the medication belongs to an extended-spectrum bronchodilator drug.

Composition and form of release

Berodual is available in two types. The first is an aerosol can, which is used by asthmatics in cases of exacerbation. This form of release has a compact size and fits even in your pocket. The second type is Berodual inhalation solution. It is sold through a pharmacy retail network only by prescription. Sold in the form of a small bottle of 20 ml.
    The main composition of the medication is a combination of two active ingredients - this is Fenoterolum (phenoterol) and Ipratropii bromidum (ipratropium bromide). This tandem has strong bronchodilator activity.
Fenoterol reduces the density of edema on the mucous surfaces of the respiratory organs. Thus, internal inflammation is removed and the circulation of air masses in the respiratory system improves.
Bromide reduces the hypersecretion of the bronchial glands, thereby stopping the production of mucus - it, thickening, complicates the breathing process and causes an increased cough.

Indications for inhalation

Berodual is an anti-inflammatory and expectorant, regardless of whether an infectious disease or not. It is used for the prevention and treatment of the following diseases:
    bronchial obstruction
    acute obstructive bronchitis,
    various types of pneumonia,
    laryngotracheitis,
    tracheitis.
    Berodual solution begins to act immediately after it enters the surface of the mucous organs. The first effect occurs after a quarter of an hour, and the maximum benefit after two hours and lasts for five hours.
Indications for the use of the solution for inhalation in children are similar to adults. All procedures are carried out with the prescription of the doctor and compliance with the dosage. In the treatment of children, it is the inhalation solution that should be used. Using it in a nebulizer, most of the mucous membrane is processed in a short time, which contributes to rapid remission.

How to carry out inhalation sessions

Inhalation sessions are prescribed at regular intervals, no more than 3 times a day. More procedures are possible only with prolonged therapy, one session of which should not exceed 8 minutes.

Usually children can not sit in one place, so you should understand how to do inhalation with a solution berodual for a child correctly:

    calm him down
    give him a bright book or toy
    explain that he needs to sit quietly for a few minutes
    after the procedure, you can give something motivating - candy or sweet fruits.
Dr. Komarovsky recommends carrying out procedures immediately after sleep or at a time when the children are most calm. First you need to prepare a nebulizer, dilute the medication in the required proportion. After that you can tell the child what the procedure is for. Explain that there is no other way to recover, and now the doctor advises to breathe “healing” steam for some time. Also, to interest the baby, you can talk about the nebulizer and its parts, how it works. In pharmacies and stores they sell special children's nebulizers for inhalation, which are very bright and sometimes made in the form of funny animals. The interval between inhalation sessions for children is usually 3 hours.

Adverse reactions

Any drug has its own side effects, which are determined by the method of medical examination. Berodual solution has the following:
    sore throat, dryness
    tremor of limbs.
These are the most common effects when taking the medicine. They are not very dangerous and pass immediately after stopping the drug.

    tachycardia,
    severe dizziness and headache,
    urticaria or other reactions,
    blurred consciousness.

When they occur, a replacement is prescribed for the current medicine, as well as sedatives to relieve the effect.

Pregnancy and lactation

Despite the fact that solution Berodual does not contain dangerous components for humans, it should be used with caution during pregnancy or lactation.
During the first trimester, while the placenta has not yet become stronger, all the substances consumed by the mother enter the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women should not use any medications, including Berodual without good reason.
During the next trimester, the appointment of solution Berodual may be relevant in case of illness of a young mother. The baby's organs are already formed and the fetus, thanks to a stronger placenta, is less susceptible to drugs.
During the third trimester, the solution is shown only as a last resort and strictly under the supervision of a gynecologist. This is due to the threat of a possible miscarriage on the specified dates. Since fenoterol, which is part of the composition, has the ability to contract the uterus.
Clinical trials have shown that out of the composition, only one substance can enter the fetus through mother's milk. This is fenoterol. Experience shows that the amount of substance delivered to the fetus with mother’s milk is minimal, and it is not able to cause disturbances in the baby’s body. But taking medication during lactation should be done with caution.
