Levolin Respules 0.63mg contains Levosalbutamol as a main active ingredient, a bronchodilator. It helps relax the muscles of the airways, making breathing easier. It is commonly used to treat conditions like:
- Asthma
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
- Bronchitis
- Other respiratory conditions associated with wheezing and shortness of breath.
Levosalbutamol is a selective β2-adrenergic agonist that specifically targets β2 receptors in the smooth muscles of the airways. Here's how it works:
- Levosalbutamol binds to β2-adrenergic receptors located in the bronchial smooth muscle cells of the lungs.
- Upon binding, it stimulates an enzyme called adenylate cyclase. This enzyme converts ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to cyclic adenosine monophosphate.
- Elevated levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate lead to activating another enzyme called protein kinase that inhibits myosin phosphorylation and decreases intracellular calcium levels.The reduction in calcium levels and the dephosphorylation of myosin results in the protein kinase A allowing the airways to widen (bronchodilation). This improves airflow to the lungs, making it easier to breathe.
Working effects of Levolin Respules 0.63mg/2.5ml
The primary effect of Levolin Respules 0.63mg is the relaxation of bronchial muscles, leading to bronchodilation (opening of the airways). This action helps relieve symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness, commonly seen in asthma, COPD, or bronchospasm.
Advantages of Levolin Respules 0.63mg :
Compared to racemic Salbutamol (Albuterol), Levosalbutamol is considered more selective to β2 receptors, which reduces unwanted side effects like tremors or heart palpitations. Levosalbutamol is usually fast-acting, offering quick relief during acute bronchospasm episodes, typically within minutes after inhalation.
Precautions with Levolin Respules 0.63mg
Don't take this medicine if you are allergic to its active ingredient, Levosalbutamol. Do not use the nebulizer with contaminated or broken respules. Inform your doctor if you are taking any other medicine; this way, he will identify the possible side effects and drug interaction. If you experience any side effects like chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention. Always keep track of the expiration date on the package. Do not use expired medication.
- The dosage for adults is one 0.63mg (2.5ml) respule every 6 to 8 hours, or as your doctor suggests.
- The dosage for children (usually 6 years and above) is one 0.31mg or 0.63mg respule every 6 to 8 hours, depending on their weight and condition.
Use Levosalbutamol respules exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not increase or decrease the dose without medical advice. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double the dose.
Storage: Store the respules in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and heat. Once opened, a respule should be used immediately and not saved for later use.
The common side effects of Levosalbutamol are tremors, nervousness, headache, palpitations, nausea, and throat irritation.
Always use Levolin Respules 0.63mg/2.5ml as your healthcare provider prescribes, and ensure proper usage with the nebulizer to get optimal results. Contact your doctor immediately if any severe side effects occur, such as chest pain or an allergic reaction.
How to use Levolin Respules:
Levosalbutamol respules are typically used via a nebulizer, which turns liquid medication into a mist for easy inhalation. Follow the instructions carefully to ensure proper use and maximum benefit.
Steps to use Levolin Respules:
- Preparation: Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the medication. Ensure your nebulizer is clean and ready to use. Take a single dose of respule (usually 2.5ml) from the pack.
- Filling the nebulizer: Twist or cut the top of the respule to open it. Squeeze the content of the respule into the nebulizer cup.
- Nebulizer setup: Attach the cup to the nebulizer machine. Connect the nebulizer mask or mouthpiece to the cup. Check that the tubing is properly connected from the machine to the nebulizer.
- Inhalation: Place the mask over your nose and mouth or hold the mouthpiece in your mouth, depending on the setup. Turn on the nebulizer machine, which will begin to generate a mist. Breathe slowly and deeply through the mask or mouthpiece. Try to inhale the mist evenly for about 5–10 minutes or until the medicine is fully used.
- After use: Turn off the nebulizer and disconnect the tubing and mask/mouthpiece. Rinse the nebulizer components with water (except the tubing) and let them air dry. Wash your hands again after handling the nebulizer.
