Levolin 1 mg Tablet

Levolin 1 mg Tablet contains 1 mg of levosalbutamol in each tablet. It is a bronchodilator medicine in the short-acting beta2-agonist (SABA) class, used to help relieve and prevent bronchospasm in asthma and other reversible airway conditions. Levolin 1 mg Tablet works by relaxing the muscles around the airways so breathing can become easier. It is not a steroid and is not meant to replace a daily controller inhaler when one is needed.

How it works: Levosalbutamol stimulates beta2 receptors in the airways, which helps the airway muscles relax and opens the breathing passages. In tablet form, Levolin 1 mg Tablet provides this medicine systemically after swallowing, so it can help ease bronchospasm over time rather than acting as quickly as an inhaler.

Levolin 1 mg Tablet is a lower tablet strength, which can be useful when a doctor wants a smaller dose or more careful dose adjustment than the higher Levolin 2 mg Tablet. Because it is taken by mouth, it usually acts more slowly than an inhaled reliever and may feel less immediate for sudden wheezing, so it is chosen based on the person's overall treatment plan. This strength is meant for patients a clinician has assessed; it is not the same as starting or rescue doses used for all patients.

• Relief of bronchospasm in asthma
• Prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm when prescribed
• Supportive treatment for reversible airway narrowing
• Symptom control for wheeze, chest tightness, and shortness of breath

• Take Levolin 1 mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet with water unless your prescriber tells you a different way to take it.
• Take it at the times your doctor recommends; do not change the schedule on your own.
• If it is being used before exercise, take it only as directed by your prescriber.
• Do not take extra tablets for sudden severe breathing trouble unless your doctor has specifically told you to do so.
• If your symptoms are getting worse or you need it more often, contact your doctor promptly.

Each Levolin 1 mg Tablet provides 1 mg of levosalbutamol. The number of tablets and how often they are taken depends on age, symptoms, and your doctor's judgment; the exact maximum daily dose should come from the prescribing directions for your individual case. Do not increase the dose on your own, especially since this is a tablet strength that can be adjusted differently from the higher Levolin 2 mg Tablet.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Levosalbutamol may include:

• Tremor or shakiness, which can be more noticeable with oral beta2-agonists
• Nervousness or restlessness
• Headache
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations
• Muscle cramps
• Mild nausea

• Use caution if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, arrhythmia, hyperthyroidism, or diabetes.
• Tell your doctor if you have ever reacted badly to albuterol, salbutamol, or levosalbutamol-type medicines.
• Because this is an oral tablet, it may cause more whole-body side effects such as tremor or palpitations than an inhaled reliever.
• Do not use more often than prescribed, and do not rely on it alone if you have frequent asthma symptoms.
• Avoid alcohol if it worsens dizziness, palpitations, or stomach upset.
• Use caution when driving if the tablet makes you shaky, dizzy, or nervous.
• Tell your clinician about all medicines you take, especially other asthma medicines and drugs that can affect the heart rhythm or potassium.

• Other beta-agonists or asthma relievers, which can increase side effects like tremor and fast heartbeat
• Beta-blockers such as propranolol, which may reduce the effect of levosalbutamol
• Diuretics, which can increase the risk of low potassium
• Digoxin, because low potassium and beta-agonist use can complicate heart effects
