LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE is respiratory combination medication primarily used to treat or prevent asthma symptoms such as shortness of breath or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing.
LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE is a combination of two drugs, namely: Levosalbutamol (bronchodilator) and Beclometasone (corticosteroid). Levosalbutamol belongs to the class of bronchodilators that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Beclometasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside cells of the nasal lining and stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby, provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose and sinus discomfort.
Use LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend you how often you take LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE based on your medical condition. Some people may experience fungal infection in the mouth, headache, sore throat, runny nose, pain, dizziness, nervousness, fast heart rate and vomiting. Most of these side effects of LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE. LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE is not recommended for children below 4 years of age. Use of LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE may worsen asthma symptoms in some patients. If you experience severe difficulty in breathing, please consult a doctor immediately. Do not use LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE in more than the prescribed doses as it may lead to severe heart or lung problems. Regular monitoring of potassium levels is recommended while taking LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE as it may cause low potassium levels in the blood. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, fits, chickenpox, measles, tuberculosis, immune system problem, osteoporosis (weak bones), glaucoma, cataracts, thyroid or heart problems, inform your doctor before taking LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE. Please do not use or store LEVOSALBUTAMOL+BECLOMETASONE near open flame or heat as it may burst the container.
