Levosole Respules

Levosole Respules is used to treat bronchospasm and symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Levosole Respules helps to relieve symptoms like coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. Bronchospasm is the tightening of the muscles that line the airways or bronchi in the lungs. Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes).

Levosole Respules contains 'Levosalbutamol,' which is also known as levalbuterol. Levosole Respules is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. Levosole Respules thus makes breathing easier by widening the airways.

Your doctor will advise on how often you need to take Levosole Respules based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Levosole Respules include nausea, vomiting, restlessness, tremor (shakiness), headache, muscle tightness, dryness or soreness of the throat, dizziness, sleepiness, palpitations (irregular heartbeat), nasal congestion (stuffy nose), and increased heart rate. Most of these side effects of Levosole Respules do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please seek medical help.

Try not to stop taking this medicine on your own. Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any heart, liver, or kidney diseases, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), stomach ulcer, seizure (fits), high blood pressure and diabetes before taking Levosole Respules. Please check with your doctor if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding, or if you are taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines. Avoid driving or operating machines since Levosole Respules may cause dizziness and drowsiness and affect your driving ability. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Levosole Respules as it can worsen your sleepiness.

Inform your doctor if you have any heart, liver or kidney diseases, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), stomach ulcer, seizures (fits), high blood pressure, and diabetes before taking Levosole Respules. Levosole Respules may cause hypokalaemia (low potassium levels in the blood) in some patients, leading to severe heart diseases, so Levosole Respules should be cautiously administered. Levosole Respules can cause a rise in blood glucose levels. Please monitor your blood glucose levels if you have diabetes and inform your doctor so that the dose can be adjusted accordingly. Also, let your doctor know if you plan to become pregnant, are already pregnant or if you are a lactating mother before starting Levosole Respules. Avoid driving or operating machines since Levosole Respules may cause dizziness and drowsiness and affect your driving ability. Avoid drinking alcohol as it can worsen your sleepiness and affect your mental ability when you are being treated with Levosole Respules.

Drug-Drug Interaction: Levosole Respules may interact with fluid retention drugs (furosemide), heart-related drugs (digoxin), corticosteroids (fluticasone, budesonide), bronchodilators (salmeterol, vilanterol, formoterol, albuterol), and medicines that treat vomiting (ondansetron).

Drug-Food Interaction: Limit alcohol intake since it may worsen the side effects like sleepiness and shakiness.

Drug-Disease Interaction: Inform your doctor if you have heart, liver, kidney diseases, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), stomach ulcer, seizures (fits), high blood pressure and diabetes.

• Eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system.
• Avoid foods such as cabbage, beans, garlic, onions, shrimp, pickled foods, dried fruits, fried foods, carbonated drinks, wine, and bottled lemon and lime juice, as they may worsen asthma symptoms.
• Do meditation, deep breathing, regular exercise, and try progressive muscle relaxation techniques to get relief from stress and reduce the risk of an asthma attack.
• Quit smoking as it may reduce the effectiveness of Levosole Respules and irritate the lungs, worsening breathing problems.
• Learning breathing exercises will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.

• Monitor your blood glucose levels regularly since Levosole Respules can raise blood sugar levels.
• Keep a check on your heart condition (if you are a heart disease patient) with an ECG if you notice any rapid heartbeat and blood pressure changes.
• Undergoing a blood examination for your potassium levels will help rule out the possibility of hypokalaemia.

Bronchospasm: It is the tightening of the muscles that line the airways or bronchi in the lungs. Symptoms include wheezing, chest pain, tightness in the chest, and fatigue.

Asthma: It is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. The symptoms of asthma include wheezing (whistling sound while breathing), shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough, especially at night. The symptoms of mild persistent asthma may occur more than 2 times a week and up to 4 nights in a month, whereas, in the case of severe persistent asthma, the symptoms occur several times every day and most nights. The treatment for asthma includes medication, breathing exercises, and self-care.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases characterized by emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes). Smoking tobacco is the major cause of COPD, but long-term exposure to fumes and chemicals may also contribute. Symptoms include chronic cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing (a whistling sound while breathing).
