Sultolin 200 mcg cap

Indication:
Sultolin® Cozycap is indicated both for treatment and prophylaxis of bronchospasm in bronchial and exercise-induced asthma in patients 4 years of age and older, and also for treatment of other conditions, such as bronchitis and emphysema associated with reversible
airways obstruction. This is particularly useful in patients who are unable to use the aerosol form of salbutamol properly or who prefer a powder formulation for inhalation. Sultolin® Cozycap acts rapidly and may be used when necessary to relieve attacks of acute dysponea.

Dosage & Administration:
Adults: For the relief of bronchospasm and for managing intermittent episodes of asthma, one or two cozycaps may be administered as a single dose. The usual recommended dosage of Sultolin ® Cozycap for inhalation for adults for maintenance or prophylactic therapy is the contents of one 200 microgram capsule every 4 to 6 hours using a revolizerTM device. In some patients, the contents of two 200 microgram capsules inhaled every 4 to 6 hours may be required. Large doses or more frequent administration is not recommended. The use of salbutamol powder for inhalation can be continued as medically indicated to control
recurring/intermittent episodes of bronchospasm.

Children: One Sultolin® Cozycap is the recommended dose for relief of acute bronchospasm in the maintenance of episodic asthma or before exercise of children 4 years of age and older. One inhalation should be administered for three or four times a day for routine maintenance or prophylactic therapy. This dosage may be increased to inhalation of two cozycaps, if necessary.
The bronchodilator effect of each administration of inhaled Sultolin® Cozycap lasts for at least four hours. Such patients should be warned not to increase the dose of inhaler, but should seek medical advice immediately.

Excercise-induced Asthma: Adults - 400 microgram, Child - 200 microgram, 15-30 minutes prior to
any physical exertion.

Preparation:
Sultolin® Cozycap: Each pack contains 30 cozycaps in alu-alu blister.
