How Levolin 0.63mg 2.5ml Pack Of 5 Respules Works?

Levolin 0.63mg Respules contain levosalbutamol (0.63 mg), which influences the body in the following ways:

Activates beta-2 receptors: Levosalbutamol works by stimulating beta-2 receptors present on the cells of your airways. This activation process leads to an increase in cyclic AMP levels within the cells.
Relaxes bronchial muscles: The increase in cyclic AMP levels activates an enzyme called protein kinase A. This enzyme plays a vital role in relaxing the muscles around your bronchial tubes, aiding in widening your airways (bronchodilation), which ultimately makes breathing easier.
Inhibits release of bronchoconstrictors: Levosalbutamol also inhibits the release of certain substances from mast cells that can constrict or narrow down your bronchial tubes and make breathing difficult.
