Description

Bambuterol is an active precursor of the selective beta2-adrenergic agonist terbutaline. Bambuterol is the bis-N,N-dimethyl-carbamate of terbutaline. Bambuterol is a remarkably selective and potent inhibitor of cholinesterase. BAMBEC (Bambuterol hydrochloride) oral solution or tablets are indicated for the management of asthma, bronchospasm and/or reversible airways obstruction.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
BAMBEC (Bambuterol hydrochloride) Tablets 10 mg. The recommended starting doses are 10 mg–20 mg. The 10 mg dose may be increased to 20 mg if necessary after 1–2 weeks, depending on the clinical effect. In patients who have previously tolerated beta2-agonists well, the recommended starting dose, as well as maintenance dose, is 20 mg. BAMBEC (Bambuterol hydrochloride) oral solution 1mg/ml. The recommended initial dose is 10mg (10ml). The dose may be increased to 20mg (20ml) after 1-2 weeks, depending on the clinical effect. In patients who previously have tolerated oral beta2-agonists well, the recommended initial dose is 20mg (20ml).
