Airz Inhalation Capsule

Airz inhalation capsule is a long-term inhalation medicine used to help keep your airways open if you have chronic breathing problems such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD includes conditions like chronic bronchitis and emphysema that make it harder for you to breathe comfortably. This medicine is a clear, colourless solution packed in single-use inhalation capsules.

It is intended for use with a nebulizer so that the medicine can reach directly into the lungs where it is needed most. Airz inhalation capsule works gradually and is designed for regular, daily use. It helps reduce airway tightness and supports easier breathing over time when used exactly as prescribed by your physician.

It is not intended to provide immediate relief during sudden breathing difficulties. If your breathing suddenly worsens, you should use your prescribed rescue inhaler and consult your doctor promptly.

Dosage

Overdose

Using more than the prescribed dose may cause symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, eye discomfort, or difficulty passing urine. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical help immediately.

Missed a Dose

If you miss a dose, take the next dose at your usual time. Do not use two inhalation capsules at once to make up for a missed dose. If you often forget doses, consult your physician for guidance.
