Patients may explore substitutes in the following scenarios:
Before you switch from Levosole-B Respule to another medicine, here are some important points to keep in mind:
Same salt, different brands:
Most substitutes contain the same active ingredient - BUDESONIDE-0.5MG + LEVOSALBUTAMOL-1.25MG, but the fillers, coating, or manufacturing quality may vary slightly.
Consult your doctor first:
Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.
Watch out for allergies or reactions:
Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.
Price ≠ effectiveness:
A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.
Check the dosage form and strength:
Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.
Levosole-B Respule contains Levosalbutamol and Budesonide which are used to prevent or treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) such as shortness of breath, coughing, or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles and widens the airways of the lungs. Thus, it makes breathing easier. Budesonide is a corticosteroid that acts inside cells of the nasal lining and stops the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammatory reactions. Thereby, it provides relief from sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and sinus discomfort.
