Levolin Respules 0.63 mg/2.5 mL

Levolin Respules 0.63 mg/2.5 mL is an inhalation solution respule containing 0.63 mg of levosalbutamol in each 2.5 mL unit. Levosalbutamol is a short-acting beta2-agonist bronchodilator used to help relieve and prevent bronchospasm by opening narrowed airways. It is used for symptoms of asthma and other reversible breathing problems when a rapid-acting inhaled medicine is needed. This is a higher-strength respule and should be used only as prescribed for the person your clinician has assessed.

How it works: Levosalbutamol relaxes the smooth muscle around the airways, which helps the breathing tubes open up and makes it easier to move air in and out. Because Levolin Respules 0.63 mg/2.5 mL is inhaled, the medicine works directly in the lungs and is meant for quick relief of bronchospasm.

Levolin Respules 0.63 mg/2.5 mL is the lower of the two respule strengths sold here, and it may be chosen when a doctor wants a milder bronchodilator dose or when a patient is more sensitive to beta-agonist side effects. Compared with Levolin Respules 1.25 mg/2.5 mL, this strength delivers less medicine per respule, which may mean a gentler feel with less shakiness or racing heartbeat for some patients.

• Relief of bronchospasm in asthma
• Prevention of exercise-related wheeze when prescribed
• Short-term relief of reversible airway tightening
• Supportive treatment for obstructive breathing symptoms

• Use Levolin Respules 0.63 mg/2.5 mL with a nebulizer only; do not swallow the respule contents.
• Open one respule only when you are ready to use it and pour the full 2.5 mL into the nebulizer cup unless your prescriber instructs otherwise.
• Breathe the mist in slowly and deeply through the mouthpiece or mask until the solution is finished.
• Take it exactly as directed by your doctor; this medicine is not the same as a tablet and is not taken by mouth.
• If you also use other inhaled medicines, follow the order your clinician recommends and clean the nebulizer after use.

Each Levolin Respules 0.63 mg/2.5 mL respule contains 0.63 mg of levosalbutamol in 2.5 mL for nebulized inhalation. The dose and how often it is used depend on age, symptom severity, and your response, and the prescriber decides the schedule. Do not use more often or in larger amounts than directed; the maximum daily amount should be set by your doctor for this specific strength.

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

Common side effects of Levosalbutamol may include:

• Shakiness or tremor, which can be dose-related
• Nervousness or restlessness
• Headache
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations
• Dizziness
• Mild throat irritation or cough after inhalation

• Use only if your clinician has prescribed nebulized levosalbutamol for you; this is not a routine self-start medicine for every cough or shortness of breath.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, an irregular heartbeat, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, seizures, or low potassium.
• Higher beta-agonist doses can cause more shaking, faster pulse, or nervousness, so do not increase use on your own.
• If your breathing is getting worse or you need the medicine more often, seek medical advice promptly because this may signal poor asthma control.
• Let your clinician know about any other asthma inhalers or nebulized medicines you use so the treatment plan is coordinated.
• Use caution with driving or tasks requiring alertness if you feel dizzy or shaky after treatment.
• This respule is for inhalation by nebulizer only; do not inject or take by mouth.

• Other bronchodilators or stimulant medicines may increase the risk of fast heartbeat and tremor.
• Beta-blockers can reduce the effect of levosalbutamol and may trigger bronchospasm in some patients.
• Diuretics may increase the risk of low potassium when combined with this medicine.
• Certain antidepressants, especially MAO inhibitors or tricyclics, can increase cardiovascular side effects if used together.
