Indication:
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
