Frequently asked questions

How does Levosalbutamol work?

Levosalbutamol widens the air passages in the lungs, allowing for easier airflow. It helps relieve asthma symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath, especially at night.

How should I take Levosalbutamol?

Take Levosalbutamol as prescribed by your doctor, with or without food. It's best to take it at the same time each day, preferably just before bedtime with a glass of water.

Is Levosalbutamol better than Albuterol?

Levosalbutamol and Albuterol are both used for quick relief of asthma and COPD symptoms. Levosalbutamol contains only the active form of Albuterol (R-albuterol), potentially resulting in fewer side effects compared to Albuterol, which contains both active (R-albuterol) and inactive (S-albuterol) forms.

What if I forget to take a dose of Levosalbutamol?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to compensate for the missed one.

Can I smoke if I have been prescribed Levosalbutamol?

No, smoking should be avoided while taking Levosalbutamol, as it irritates the lungs and can worsen breathing difficulties, especially in asthma patients. Seek your doctor's advice if you struggle to quit smoking.

Is it safe to take Levosalbutamol if I have heart disease?

Levosalbutamol is generally considered safe for individuals with heart disease, but its use depends on the severity of the condition. Seek immediate medical advice if you experience chest pain or worsening heart symptoms.

Being a diabetic, what should I remember while taking Levosalbutamol?

Levosalbutamol may raise blood sugar levels, so your doctor might adjust your insulin or antidiabetic medication. Monitor your blood glucose regularly and consult your doctor if you notice a sudden increase.

What would happen if I take a higher than recommended dose of Levosalbutamol?

Taking more than the recommended dose may lead to seizures, chest pain, nervousness, headache, dry mouth, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. High doses can also cause rapid or irregular heartbeat and sleep disturbances. Seek immediate medical attention if this occurs.

I have started using Levosalbutamol and I am experiencing headaches and shakiness. Is this because of Levosalbutamol and will these go away?

Yes, headaches and shakiness can be side effects of Levosalbutamol. Shakiness is common and usually resolves over time. For headaches, ensure adequate hydration, rest, and avoid alcohol. If headaches persist beyond a week, consult your doctor.
