CompositionLevolin Respules are used for the quick relief of sudden breathlessness, wheezing, and chest tightness in people with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They may also be used before exercise to help prevent bronchospasm.
It contains levosalbutamol (also known as levalbuterol), a short-acting bronchodilator that works within minutes to open the airways. The respules are used with a nebuliser machine. Twist open the respule, pour the liquid into the nebuliser chamber, and breathe in the mist slowly and deeply. Use only as frequently as prescribed.
Always have a rescue inhaler or respule available when needed. Tell your doctor if you need to use them more often than usual or if they seem less effective, as this may indicate worsening of your condition.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor about any heart problems, a fast heart rate, high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid, or diabetes. Seek emergency medical help if breathing does not improve after use. Speak to your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
