Levolin 50mcg Inhaler

Levolin 50mcg Inhaler

Levolin 50mcg Inhaler is a prescription rescue inhaler marketed by Cipla that contains Levosalbutamol 50mcg per metered dose. Levosalbutamol is a short acting bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles around the airways within minutes, which helps widen the breathing passages and ease wheezing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Doctors prescribe it for quick relief of symptoms in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and it is also used to prevent breathlessness brought on by exercise. It is meant for relief of symptoms as they occur and not as a daily preventer, so people on regular controller medicines keep it handy for flare ups. The pressurised canister delivers 200 metered doses, which means it lasts a long time with occasional use. It is a Schedule H medicine and should be used only as directed by your doctor, who will decide the number of puffs that suits you. Keep the inhaler with you at all times for sudden symptoms.
