Product introduction

Swaz 200 Rotacap is a prescription medicine containing Budesonide (200mcg). It is used for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It belongs to the group of medicines called Inhaled bronchodilator / corticosteroid.

Use it exactly as your doctor or pharmacist demonstrated. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.

The side effects seen most often with Swaz 200 Rotacap are throat irritation, hoarse voice, oral thrush and tremor. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.

Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Swaz 200 Rotacap works.

Uses

Asthma
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Benefits

In Asthma: Swaz opens the airways or calms the inflammation inside them, depending on its type, so breathing is easier and attacks are fewer. Delivered straight into the lungs, it works where it is needed with very little reaching the rest of the body.
In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Swaz relaxes the airways so that air moves in and out more easily, reducing breathlessness and letting you walk further and do more before you have to stop.

Side effects

Most side effects of Swaz are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Throat irritation
Hoarse voice
Oral thrush
Tremor
Fast heartbeat
Headache

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

Use it exactly as your doctor or pharmacist demonstrated — the technique decides how much of the dose reaches your lungs. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after each use. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

How it works

Budesonide is breathed straight into the lungs, where it opens the airways and reduces the swelling inside them, so less of the medicine reaches the rest of the body.

Breast feedingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this while breastfeeding.
DrivingSAFE: Not expected to affect your ability to drive.

Warnings & precautions

Know which of your inhalers is the reliever and which is the preventer. A preventer must be used every day even when you feel well; a reliever is for symptoms. Seek emergency care if your reliever is not working, if you cannot speak a full sentence, or if you are using the reliever far more often than usual. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after every steroid inhaler dose to prevent thrush and hoarseness. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to watch your technique — poor technique is the commonest reason an inhaler seems not to work. Use a spacer if one has been advised, particularly for children.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause a racing heart, marked tremor, headache and a fall in blood potassium. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

Keep a spare reliever and check the counter so you are not caught with an empty one.
Follow your written asthma action plan if you have one.
Do not stop a preventer because you feel better.
That is the medicine working.
