Description:
This combination medication contains Levosalbutamol (1.25 mg) and Budesonide (0.5 mg), and is used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is typically administered via nebulization to provide both quick relief from bronchospasm and long-term control of airway inflammation. The dual mechanism of action helps improve lung function, reduce symptom frequency, and prevent exacerbations.
Therapeutic Uses:
Management of acute and chronic asthma
Treatment of moderate to severe COPD
Relief from respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness
Mechanism of Action:
Levosalbutamol is a fast-acting bronchodilator (beta-2 agonist) that relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways, providing rapid relief from acute bronchospasm.
Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, swelling, and mucus production in the airways, helping to control chronic symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
Dosage Form:
Nebulizer solution (respiratory ampoules)
Prescription Status:
Prescription-only medication
Note:
This medication should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is important to use it regularly as prescribed for optimal control of respiratory symptoms. Rinse the mouth after inhalation to prevent oral thrush.
