جهاز استنشاق أكليدينيوم

About aclidinium

Aclidinium belongs to the group of medicines known as antimuscarinic bronchodilators. It is given to improve the air flow to your lungs. It works by opening up the air passages in your lungs so that air can flow into your lungs more freely. The inhaler should be used regularly every day.

Aclidinium can be helpful in relieving symptoms of مرض الانسداد الرئوي المزمن (COPD). In this condition, the air flow to the lungs is restricted and this causes symptoms such as cough, wheeze and breathlessness. You will have been prescribed aclidinium to help reduce these symptoms over the long term - it is not a rescue treatment for sudden breathlessness.

A brand of aclidinium inhaler (called Duaklir®) also contains another bronchodilator medicine called فورموتيرول. You could be prescribed this combination brand to help reduce the number of inhalers you need to use each day.

Before using an aclidinium inhaler

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine can only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start using aclidinium it is important that your doctor knows:

• إذا كنت تعاني من مشاكل في غدة البروستاتا، أو إذا كنت تواجه أي صعوبة في التبول.

• إذا كنت تعاني من حالة في العين تسمى الجلوكوما.

• إذا كنت تعاني من حالة قلبية أو إيقاع قلب غير طبيعي.

• إذا كنت حاملاً أو مرضعة.

• إذا كنت تتناول أو تستخدم أي أدوية أو أجهزة استنشاق أخرى. يشمل ذلك أي أدوية تتناولها والتي يمكن شراؤها بدون وصفة طبية، بالإضافة إلى الأدوية العشبية والمكملات الغذائية.

• إذا كنت قد تعرضت في أي وقت مضى لرد فعل تحسسي تجاه دواء.
  

كيفية استخدام جهاز الاستنشاق

• Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about aclidinium, diagrams to remind you how to use the inhaler, and a full list of side-effects which you could experience.

• Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and make sure you know how to use the inhaler properly. If you are not sure what to do, please ask your nurse, doctor or pharmacist to show you.

• Use the inhaler twice each day. To do this, remove the green protective cap, and then press and release the green button on the inhaler. The coloured window on the front of the inhaler should now be green. Then, holding the inhaler horizontally, breathe out away from the inhaler and then breathe in deeply through the inhaler. The coloured control window will turn red if you have taken your dose correctly, and if so, replace the cap again. If the control window is still green, this means that you have not taken your full dose, so breathe in deeply through the inhaler again.

• Try to use the inhaler at the same times every morning and evening, as this will help you to remember to use it regularly. If you do forget at your usual time, use it as soon as you remember. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

• You should never clean your inhaler with water as this could damage the medicine inside. If you need to clean your inhaler, just wipe the outside with a dry tissue. If your inhaler gets wet you will need to get a prescription for a new one.

تحقيق أقصى استفادة من علاجك

• Treatment for COPD is usually long-term so you should continue to use your inhaler unless you are advised otherwise by your doctor. If you are currently using any other inhalers or nebulisers to help your breathing, please discuss with your doctor if there are any of these that you should no longer use. This is because you should not use any other antimuscarinic bronchodilator as well as aclidinium.

• حاول الحفاظ على مواعيدك المنتظمة مع طبيبك. هذا لكي يتمكن طبيبك من مراجعة حالتك بشكل منتظم.

• إذا وجدت أن الأعراض لديك تزداد سوءًا أو أنك بحاجة لاستخدام جهاز الاستنشاق المهدئ (الإنقاذ) بشكل أكثر انتظامًا، فاتصل بطبيبك أو ممرضتك للحصول على المشورة فورًا.

• COPD is usually caused by smoking, so the most important treatment is to stop smoking. Smoking causes irritation and damage to the lungs, and will make your condition worse. Speak with your doctor or practice nurse for further advice if you are having difficulty in stopping smoking.

• People with COPD who exercise regularly tend to have improved breathing and a better quality of life. If you are not used to exercise, a daily walk is a good start if you are able to do this. Speak with your doctor about what level of activity will help your breathing and keep you as fit as possible.

• إذا كنت تعاني من زيادة الوزن، فقد يساعدك على تحسين التنفس إذا حاولت فقدان الوزن. وذلك لأن زيادة الوزن تعني أنك تحتاج إلى بذل جهد أكبر للتنفس لملء رئتيك. يمكن لأخصائي التغذية أن يقدم لك نصائح حول كيفية اتباع نظام غذائي صحي وفقدان الوزن.

• تذكر ترتيب الحصول على لقاحات الإنفلونزا السنوية كل خريف. سيساعدك ذلك في الحماية من الإنفلونزا وأي التهابات صدرية قد تتطور بسببها.
