In patients with cirrhosis or with severe (any cause) impaired hepatic function, the daily dose must be individualized, taking into account the individual's potential for impaired metabolism. convert bambuterol to terbutaline. Therefore, direct administration of the active metabolite (terbutaline) is preferred for these patients. For patients with renal impairment: Moderate to severe impairment of renal function (GFR <50 ml/min): It is recommended that the starting dose be halved.

Interaction of Bambuterol 10 A.T with other drugs
Co-administration of Bambuterol 10 A.T with halothane anesthetics: Increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias, avoid halothane anesthesia during β2 agonist therapy. Other halogenated anesthetics should be used with caution in conjunction with β2 agonists. Concomitant use with Suxamethonium: Prolong the muscle relaxant effect of Suxamethonium. Beta-receptor blockers include eye drops, especially non-selective blockers, which may cause partial or complete inhibition of the effects of beta-agonists. Bambuterol 10 A.T should not be used concurrently. Drugs that reduce potassium and hypokalemia such as diuretics, methyl xanthine and corticosteroids, other sympathomimetic agents: Risk of causing hypokalemia. Caution should be exercised when using the drug, especially noting that it may lead to an increased risk of arrhythmias caused by hypokalemia. Hypokalemia can also lead to Digoxin toxicity.
