In case of sudden rapid increase in dyspnoea (difficulty breathing) should immediately consult a doctor.
Hypersensitivity
After application of BERDUALA®, immediate hypersensitivity reactions may occur which, in rare cases, may include: urticaria, angioedema, rash, bronchospasm, edema of the oropharynx, anaphylactic shock.
Paradoxical bronchospasm
BERDUAL®, like other inhaled drugs, can cause paradoxical bronchospasm, which can endanger life. In the case of paradoxical bronchospasm, the use of BERODUALA® should be stopped immediately and switched to alternative therapy
Long-term use
- in patients suffering from bronchial asthma, BERODUAL® should be used only as needed;
- in patients with mild forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, symptomatic treatment may be preferable to regular use;
- Patients with bronchial asthma should be aware of the need to conduct or enhance anti-inflammatory therapy to control the inflammatory process of the airways and the course of the disease.
Regular use of increasing doses of drugs containing β2-adrenomimetics, such as BEROUDAL®, for the relief of bronchial obstruction can cause an uncontrolled deterioration in the course of the disease. In the case of increased bronchial obstruction, an increase in the dose of β2agonists, including BERODUALA®, more recommended for a long time not only is not justified, but also dangerous. To prevent a life-threatening deterioration in the course of the disease, consideration should be given to reviewing the patient's treatment plan and adequate anti-inflammatory therapy with inhaled corticosteroids.
Other sympathomimetic bronchodilators should be administered concomitantly with BERODUALOM ® only under medical supervision.
Disorders from the gastrointestinal tract
Patients with a history of cystic fibrosis may have GI motility disorders.
BERODUAL® should be used with caution in patients predisposed to acute angular glaucoma. There are some reports of complications from the side of the eye (for example, increased intraocular pressure, mydriasis, occlusive glaucoma, eye pain) developed when inhaled ipratropium bromide (or ipratropium bromide in combination with agonists β2adrenoreceptors) into the eyes.Symptoms of acute closed-angle glaucoma may be pain or discomfort in the eyes, blurred vision, the appearance of a halo in subjects and color spots in front of the eyes in combination with corneal edema and red eyes, due to conjunctival vascular injection.
If any composition of these symptoms develops, the use of eye drops that reduce intraocular pressure and immediate consultation of a specialist is indicated.
Patients should be instructed about the correct use of the BERODAALA® inhalation solution. To prevent the solution from entering the eyes, it is recommended that the solution used by the nebulizer be inhaled through the mouthpiece. In the absence of the mouthpiece, a face mask that fits snugly should be used. Especially careful to protect the eyes of patients who are predisposed to the development of glaucoma.
System Effects
With the following diseases: recently transferred myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus with inadequate glycemic control, severe organic diseases of the heart and blood vessels, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma or obstruction of the urethra (for example, with prostatic hyperplasiaor bladder neck obstruction), BERDUAL® should only be used after a thorough assessment of the risk / benefit, especially if doses exceeding the recommended levels are used.
Influence on the cardiovascular system
In postmarketing studies, rare cases of myocardial ischemia with β-agonists were noted. Patients with concomitant serious heart disease (eg, coronary heart disease, arrhythmias or severe heart failure) receiving BERDUALA® should be warned of the need to see a doctor if there is a heart trouble or other symptoms indicating a worsening of heart disease. It is necessary to pay attention to such symptoms as dyspnea and chest pain, since they can be both cardiac and pulmonary etiology.
Hypokalemia
When applying β2agonists may experience hypokalemia (see the section "Overdose").
In athletes application of BERODUALA® due to the presence of phenoterol in its composition can lead to positive results of doping tests.
The drug contains a preservative, benzalkonium chloride, and the stabilizer is disodium edetate dihydrate.During inhalation, these components can cause bronchospasm in sensitive patients with airways hyperreactivity.
