Can Duolin inhaler be used before or after food?
Asked by Male, 50 · 1 month ago
Duolin (a combination of Levosalbutamol and Ipratropium) is taken through an inhaler. As the medicine is inhaled directly into the lungs and not swallowed, its effect is not influenced by food, so it can be used either before or after meals, whichever is convenient. The important point is to take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor and ensure the correct inhalation technique.
