Incasal DS 2 mg Tablet

Incasal DS 2 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 2 mg of levosalbutamol in each tablet. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator, also called a selective beta-2 agonist, used to help relax the airways and make breathing easier. It is commonly used for conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) when a doctor wants fast relief or maintenance bronchodilation. Incasal DS 2 mg Tablet is manufactured by Incarnate Pharmachem Pvt. Ltd. and comes as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Levosalbutamol works by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the muscles around the airways, which helps those muscles relax. With the tablet form of Incasal DS 2 mg Tablet, the medicine is taken by mouth and then absorbed to help open the air passages and reduce wheezing or tightness.

Incasal DS 2 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it is typically chosen for people whose doctor wants a full 2 mg dose rather than a lower-strength option. Compared with smaller doses, this strength may be more suitable when a standard tablet dose is needed, but it can also be more likely to cause tremor, palpitations, or nervousness if taken too often. Because of that, the exact schedule should be based on the prescriber’s assessment and the patient’s breathing needs.

• Asthma-related wheezing
• Bronchospasm relief
• COPD symptom relief
• Shortness of breath from reversible airway narrowing
• Doctor-directed bronchodilator therapy

• Take Incasal DS 2 mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet with water unless your clinician gives different directions.
• Take it at the same times each day if you are on a regular schedule.
• Do not take extra tablets to relieve sudden breathing trouble unless your doctor has told you to.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Use your rescue inhaler plan if you have sudden severe symptoms, because an oral tablet may not work fast enough for an acute attack.

Each Incasal DS 2 mg Tablet provides 2 mg of levosalbutamol per tablet. Depending on the patient and the reason it is prescribed, it may be taken more than once daily, but the exact frequency and maximum daily dose must be set by the doctor. Do not exceed the prescribed amount, because higher total doses can raise the risk of fast heartbeat, shakiness, and other side effects.

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