About Levolin Rotacaps

Levolin Rotacaps is used to treat bronchospasm and symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Levolin Rotacaps 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).

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

Your doctor will advise on how often you need to take Levolin Rotacaps based on your medical condition. The common side effects of Levolin Rotacaps 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 Levolin Rotacaps 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 Levolin Rotacaps . 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 Levolin Rotacaps may cause dizziness and drowsiness and affect your driving ability. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Levolin Rotacaps as it can worsen your sleepiness.
