LEVOSALBUTAMOL 

Overview:

Levosalbutamol are often used as an inhaler or nebulizer to help people who have breathing problems like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This combination works quickly to open up the airways, making it easier to breathe.

Classification: Short-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonist (SABA)

Uses:
This medicine is commonly used to:
Relieve symptoms in asthma

Manage COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema

Help reduce wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing

How It Works:

Levosalbutamol works by loosening the tight muscles in your airways so that you can breathe more easily. It binds to unique locations within the lungs known as 2 receptors which initiate a series of actions that open the airways. This rapid dilation of the airways produces rapid relief of asthma or COPD symptoms such as wheezing, cough or dyspnoea.

Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor.

Side Effects:

Dry mouth or throat irritation

Cough or bitter taste in the mouth

Headache or dizziness

Shakiness (tremors) or nervousness

Mild increase in heart rate

Precautions:
Inform your doctor if you have heart problems, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, or diabetes.

Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, prostate issues, or difficulty urinating.

Rinse your mouth after using the inhaler or nebulizer to prevent dryness of throat irritation.

Do not spray into or get the medication in your eyes—it can cause eye problems.

Avoid overuse; using it too often can increase the risk of side effects or reduce its effectiveness over time.
