Levolin Rotacaps 100 mcg

Levolin Rotacaps 100 mcg contains levosalbutamol 100 mcg in each rotacap. It is a short-acting beta2-agonist bronchodilator used for quick relief of bronchospasm in asthma and other reversible airway conditions. By helping relax tightened airway muscles, Levolin Rotacaps 100 mcg can make breathing easier during wheezing, chest tightness, or shortness of breath. This product is a rotacap meant to be used with a suitable inhalation device, not swallowed.

How it works: Levosalbutamol works by stimulating beta2 receptors in the airway muscles, which causes them to relax and open up. In the rotacap form, the powder is inhaled into the lungs where it can act quickly to relieve bronchospasm.

Levolin Rotacaps 100 mcg is the exact 100 mcg strength per rotacap, which is a lower-dose inhaled option compared with higher-strength levosalbutamol products. It may suit patients who need rapid symptom relief with less drug per inhalation, but the right dose still depends on your doctor’s assessment of symptom severity and response. Some people feel relief quickly, while others may need a different strength or a different controller medicine in addition to this rescue inhaler.

• Quick relief of asthma symptoms
• Relief of wheezing
• Relief of chest tightness from bronchospasm
• Relief of shortness of breath caused by reversible airway narrowing
• Prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm when prescribed before activity

• Use Levolin Rotacaps 100 mcg only with the inhalation device your pharmacist or doctor recommends; do not swallow the rotacap.
• Place one 100 mcg rotacap into the device and inhale the powder as directed, usually with a deep, steady breath.
• Do not open, crush, or chew the rotacap.
• If your doctor tells you to use it before exercise, take it shortly before activity as instructed.
• This medicine can be used with or without food because it is inhaled, not taken by mouth.
• If your symptoms do not improve quickly or you need it more often than prescribed, seek medical advice.

Each Levolin Rotacaps 100 mcg provides 100 mcg of levosalbutamol. The usual frequency may be as needed for symptoms or before exercise, but the exact dose and how often you may use it are determined by your doctor based on your age, condition, and response. Do not exceed the maximum daily amount prescribed for you, since overuse can increase side effects and may signal poorly controlled asthma.

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

Common side effects of Levosalbutamol may include:

• Tremor or shakiness
• Nervousness or restlessness
• Headache
• Fast heartbeat or palpitations
• Dizziness
• Throat irritation or cough after inhalation

• Use only as directed for asthma or bronchospasm; do not use more often than prescribed just because symptoms feel worse.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, an irregular heartbeat, thyroid disease, diabetes, or seizures.
• Overuse can cause stronger side effects and may mean your asthma is not well controlled.
• If you need this rescue medicine more often than usual, contact your doctor promptly.
• Use caution with caffeine, decongestants, and stimulant medicines because they can increase jitteriness or heart effects.
• Do not use if you are sensitive to levosalbutamol or similar bronchodilators.
• If you become dizzy or shaky after inhaling, be careful with driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.

• Other beta-agonist bronchodilators may increase side effects when used together.
• Beta-blockers can reduce the effect of levosalbutamol.
• Certain diuretics may raise the risk of low potassium when combined with this medicine.
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants can increase cardiovascular side effects.
• Other stimulant medicines, including some decongestants, may worsen tremor or palpitations.
