Levolin Respules 0.63mg/2.5ml

Levolin Respules 0.63mg/2.5ml

Levolin Respules 0.63mg/2.5ml contains Levosalbutamol (also known as Levalbuterol) 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 (COPD)
• 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:

1. Levosalbutamol binds to β2-adrenergic receptors located in the bronchial smooth muscle cells of the lungs.
2. Upon binding, it stimulates an enzyme called adenylate cyclase. This enzyme converts ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to cyclic adenosine monophosphate.
3. Elevated levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate lead to activating another enzyme called protein kinase that inhibits myosin phosphorylation and decreases intracellular calcium levels.
4. 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/2.5ml 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/2.5ml - 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.

How to use

Usage instructions of Levolin Respules 0.63mg/2.5ml

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:

1. 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.
2. Filling the nebulizer: Twist or cut the top of the respule to open it. Squeeze the content of the respule into the nebulizer cup.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
