Uses / Indications:
Levolin 1.25mg Respules are given for:
Asthma (both sudden attacks and long-term treatment)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Wheezing and shortness of breath due to a blockage in the airways
Bronchospasm caused by allergens, illnesses, or working out
Acute respiratory distress in adults and older children.
Pregnancy interaction:
Levolin 1.25mg Respules include Levosalbutamol (Levalbuterol), which is a bronchodilator that helps people with asthma, COPD, and bronchospasm breathe easier.
Being pregnant:
Be careful when using it while pregnant.
Animal studies reveal possible hazards to the fetus, but there isn't much data on humans.
The doctor may only give it to you if the advantages outweigh the risks, especially if the mother's breathing problems are very bad.
Nursing:
We don't know if levosalbutamol gets into breast milk. Because of this, it should only be used with caution while nursing and under the care of a doctor.
Expert advice:
Your doctor will tell you how to use it solely through a nebulizer.
Do not take more than the recommended amount or frequency.
After each usage, make sure to wash and dry the parts of the nebulizer.
Do not smoke or be around dust, fumes, or allergens.
Should you experience worsening breathing problems after using it, please consult a doctor promptly.
Tell your doctor if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart issues, hyperthyroidism, or seizures.
If you have asthma attacks often, have your rescue nebulizer or inhaler close by.

How to use:
Only for use with a nebulizer (don't swallow):
To open the respule, twist and shatter the tip.
Pour the liquid: Put the contents into the nebulizer chamber.
Attach the mouthpiece or mask and breathe in the mist slowly and deeply until the liquid is gone (typically 5 to 10 minutes).
After usage, wash and dry all parts of the nebulizer to stop germs from spreading.
Follow the directions exactly (typically 1 respule 2–3 times a day).
Unless told to, don't combine with other solutions.
Use it as soon as you can if you forget a dosage. If it's close to the next dose, don't take it again.
How it works:
Levolin 1.25mg Respules has levalbuterol in it, which is a selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist.

This helps:
Help with wheezing and shortness of breath
Make it easier for air and oxygen to get in
Stop asthma episodes and bronchospasm

Diuretics (water pills) can reduce potassium levels.
MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants may create problems with cardiac rhythm.
Corticosteroids may make potassium loss worse.
Other bronchodilators or stimulants may make adverse effects worse, like shaking or a fast heartbeat.
