Trimbow inhaler is a medicine to help breathing that contains the three active substances:
Beclometasone dipropionate belongs to a group of medicines called corticosteroids which act to reduce the swelling and irritation in your lungs.
Formoterol and glycopyrronium are medicines called long-acting bronchodilators. They act in different ways to relax the muscles in your airways, helping to open the airways wider and allowing you to breathe more easily.
Regular treatment with these three active substances helps to relieve and prevent symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing and cough in adult patients with obstructive lung disease.
Trimbow Inhaler is used for the regular treatment of
Trimbow can reduce exacerbations (flare-ups) of COPD and asthma symptoms.
COPD is a serious long-term disease in which the airways become blocked and air sacs inside the lungs become damaged, leading to difficulty breathing.
Asthma is a serious, long term disease where the muscles surrounding the airways become tight (bronchoconstriction) and swollen and irritated (inflammation). Symptoms come and go and include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness and cough.
You should use Trimbow every day and not only when you have breathing problems or other symptoms of asthma. This will ensure that it controls your asthma properly.
Do not use this medicine to relieve a sudden attack of breathlessness or wheezing.

Adults

Do not use more than your doctor tells you to use.
You should use Trimbow every day, even when your asthma is not troubling you.
Do not use this medicine to relieve a sudden attack of breathlessness or wheezing.
If you feel that the medicine is not very effective, talk to your doctor.
If you have been using a different inhaler containing beclometasone dipropionate previously, ask your doctor for advice, as the effective dose of beclometasone dipropionate in Trimbow for the treatment of your obstructive lung disease may be lower than that of some other inhalers.
Route of administration
Trimbow is for inhalation use.
You should inhale the medicine through your mouth and this takes the medicine directly into your lungs.
This medicine is contained in a pressurised container in a plastic inhaler with a mouthpiece.
Trimbow is available in three container sizes:
If you have been prescribed a container providing 60 puffs or 120 puffs
There is a counter on the back of the inhaler, which tells you how many doses are left. Each time you press the pressurised container, a puff of medicine is released and the counter will count down by one. Take care not to drop the inhaler as this may cause the counter to count down.
If you have been prescribed a container providing 180 puffs
There is an indicator on the back of the inhaler, which tells you how many doses are left. Each time you press the pressurised container, a puff of medicine is released and the dose indicator rotates by a small amount. The number of puffs remaining is displayed in intervals of 20. Take care not to drop the inhaler as this may cause the dose indicator to count down.
Testing your inhaler
Before using the inhaler for the first time, you should test your inhaler to make sure that it is working properly, as follows.
1. Depending on the container size prescribed to you, check that the dose counter reads 61 or 121 and that the dose indicator reads 180
2. Remove the protective cap from the mouthpiece
3. Hold your inhaler upright with the mouthpiece at the bottom
4. Direct the mouthpiece away from yourself and firmly press the pressurised container to release one puff
5. Check the dose counter or dose indicator. If you are testing your inhaler for the first time, the counter should read:
60
120
180
How to use your inhaler
Stand or sit up when inhaling.
IMPORTANT: Do not perform steps 2 to 5 too quickly.
1. Remove the protective cap from the mouthpiece and check that the mouthpiece is clean and free from dust and dirt.
2. Breathe out as slowly and deeply as possible, in order to empty your lungs.
3. Hold the inhaler upright with the mouthpiece at the bottom and place the mouthpiece between your teeth without biting it. Then place your lips around the mouthpiece, with the tongue flat under it.
4. Breathe in slowly and deeply through your mouth to fill your lungs with air (this should take about 4–5 seconds). Just after starting to breathe in, press down firmly on the top of the pressurised container to release one puff.
5. Hold your breath for as long as possible and, finally, remove the inhaler from your mouth and breathe out slowly. Do not breathe out into the inhaler.
6. Check that the dose counter (60/120 puffs) has moved down by one or that the dose indicator (180 puffs) has rotated by a small amount.
For the second puff, keep the inhaler in the upright position for about half a minute, then repeat steps 2 to 5.
If you see ‘mist’ coming from the top of the inhaler or the sides of your mouth, this means that Trimbow will not be getting into your lungs as it should. Take another puff, following the instructions starting again from step 2.
After use, replace the protective cap.
To prevent a fungal infection in the mouth and throat, rinse your mouth or gargle with water without swallowing it or brush your teeth after each use of your inhaler.
When to get a new inhaler
You should get a replacement when the counter or indicator shows the number 20. Stop using the inhaler when the counter or indicator shows 0, as any medicine left in the inhaler may not be enough to give you a full puff.
If you have a weak grip, it may be easier to hold the inhaler with both hands: hold the upper part of the inhaler with both index fingers and its lower part with both thumbs.
If you find it difficult to use the inhaler while starting to breathe in, you may use the AeroChamber Plus spacer device. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about this device. It is important that you read the package leaflet which is supplied with your AeroChamber Plus spacer device and that you carefully follow the instructions on how to use the AeroChamber Plus spacer device and how to clean it.
Cleaning of the Trimbow inhaler
You should clean your inhaler once a week.
1. Do not remove the pressurised container from the inhaler and do not use water or other liquids to clean your inhaler.
2. Remove the protective cap from the mouthpiece by pulling it away from your inhaler.
3. Wipe inside and outside of the mouthpiece and the inhaler with a clean, dry cloth or tissue.
4. Replace the mouthpiece cap.
If you use more Trimbow than you should
It is important that you take your dose as advised by your doctor. Do not exceed your prescribed dose without talking to your doctor.
If you use more Trimbow than you should, side effects, as described in section 4, may occur.
Tell your doctor if you have used more Trimbow than you should and if you experience any of these symptoms. Your doctor may wish to carry out some blood tests.
If you forget to use Trimbow
Use it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, do not take the dose you have missed, but just take the next dose at the correct time. Do not double the dose.
If you stop using Trimbow
It is important to use Trimbow every day. Do not stop using Trimbow or lower the dose, even if you are feeling better or you have no symptoms. If you want to do this, talk to your doctor.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist
What you need to know before you use Trimbow
Do not use Trimbow
If you are allergic to beclometasone dipropionate, formoterol fumarate dihydrate and glycopyrronium or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
Warnings and precautions
Trimbow is used as a maintenance treatment for your obstructive lung disease. Do not use this medicine to treat a sudden attack of breathlessness or wheezing.
If your breathing gets worse
If you develop worsening shortness of breath or wheezing (breathing with a whistling sound), straight after inhaling your medicine, stop using Trimbow inhaler and use your quick-acting “reliever” inhaler straightaway. You should contact your doctor straightaway. Your doctor will assess your symptoms and if necessary may start you on a different treatment.
See also section 4, “Possible side effects”.
If your lung disease gets worse
If your symptoms get worse or are difficult to control (e.g. if you are using a separate “reliever” inhaler more frequently) or if your “reliever” inhaler does not improve your symptoms, see your doctor immediately. Your lung disease may be getting worse and your doctor may need to prescribe different treatment.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Trimbow
If any of the above applies to you, tell your doctor before you use Trimbow.
If you have or have had any medical problems or any allergies or if you are not sure if you can use Trimbow, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using the inhaler.
If you are already using Trimbow
If you are using Trimbow or high doses of other inhaled corticosteroids over long periods and you come into a situation of stress (e.g. being taken to hospital after an accident, having a serious injury or before an operation) you may need more of this medicine. In such a situation, your doctor may need to increase your dose of corticosteroids to cope with the stress and may prescribe them as tablets or injections. Contact your doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.
Children and adolescents
Do not give this medicine to children and adolescents below the age of 18 years.
Other medicines and Trimbow
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. This includes medicines similar to Trimbow used for your lung disease.
Some medicines may increase the effects of Trimbow and your doctor may wish to monitor you carefully if you are taking these medicines (including some medicines for HIV: ritonavir, cobicistat).
Do not use this medicine with a beta-blocker medicine
(used for treating certain heart problems such as angina or for reducing blood pressure) unless your doctor has chosen a beta-blocker that does not affect your breathing. Beta-blockers (including beta-blocker eye-drops) may reduce the effects of formoterol or make it not work at all. On the other hand, using other beta2-agonist medicines (which work in the same way as formoterol) may increase the effects of formoterol.
Using Trimbow together with:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.
You should only use Trimbow during pregnancy if you are advised to do so by your doctor. It is preferable to avoid the use of Trimbow during labour due to the inhibitory effects of formoterol on uterine contractions.
You should not use Trimbow during breast-feeding.
You and your doctor must make a decision whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue/abstain from Trimbow therapy taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding for your child and the benefit of therapy for you.
Driving and using machines
Trimbow is unlikely to affect your ability to drive and use machines.
Trimbow contains ethanol
Trimbow contains 8.856 mg of alcohol (ethanol) in each actuation, which is equivalent to 17.712 mg per dose of two actuations. The amount in two actuations of this medicine is equivalent to less than 1 ml of wine or beer. The small amount of alcohol in this medicine will not have any noticeable effects.
Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
There is a risk of worsening shortness of breath and wheezing immediately after using Trimbow and this is known as paradoxical bronchospasm (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people). If this occurs you should stop using Trimbow and use your quick-acting “reliever” inhaler straightaway to treat the shortness of breath and wheezing. You should contact your doctor straightaway.
Tell your doctor immediately
