Year Created: YE 45
Designer / Manufacturer: Advancer Enterprises
Nomenclature: AE-N40
Price: 25 KS per 200ml inhaler

History

Bronkalith was born out of an urgent need to provide more effective treatments for chronic respiratory conditions. Advancer Enterprises, recognizing the limitations of existing medications, initiated a dedicated research program. The focus was on creating a drug that could offer immediate relief from symptoms while also being safe for long-term use.

Usage

Bronkalith is primarily administered through inhalation, with a standard dosage of 2 puffs (approximately 50mg per puff) from a 200ml inhaler. It functions by relaxing bronchial muscles, thereby facilitating better airflow and reducing symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath. The drug is often used in conjunction with other medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may also include lifestyle modifications and pulmonary rehabilitation programs.

Side Effects

Bronkalith is generally well-tolerated, but it's not without potential side effects. Common ones include dry mouth and throat irritation, which are usually mild and transient. However, more severe side effects like paradoxical bronchospasm and irregular heartbeat can occur, albeit rarely. It's imperative for patients to consult healthcare providers for a complete risk assessment and to report any adverse effects promptly for appropriate management.

Overdose

Overdosing on Bronkalith can lead to severe respiratory complications, most notably paradoxical bronchospasm. The overdose threshold is around 300mg, or approximately six times the standard dose. Immediate medical intervention is crucial, usually involving the administration of emergency bronchodilators and supportive respiratory care.
