About Levolin 1 mg Orange Flavour Syrup

Levolin 1 mg Orange Flavour Syrup belongs to the class of 'bronchodilators' primarily used to treat symptoms of bronchospasm, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Levolin 1 mg Orange Flavour Syrup helps 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 1 mg Orange Flavour Syrup contains 'Levosalbutamol,' which is also known as levalbuterol. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. Levolin 1 mg Orange Flavour Syrup thus makes breathing easier by widening the airways.
