About Ludolin CFC-Free Inhaler

Ludolin CFC-Free Inhaler belongs to the class of medications called bronchodilators used to treat or prevent symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). COPD is a lung disorder that includes emphysema (breathing problems caused by a damaged air sac) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation and narrowing of the lining of airways or bronchial tubes).

Ludolin CFC-Free Inhaler contains Ipratropium and Levosalbutamol. Ludolin CFC-Free Inhaler works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Thereby, it allows to breathe easily and provides relief from the symptoms of COPD such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Consume potassium-rich foods such as tomatoes, bananas, asparagus, oranges, potatoes, avocados, dark leafy greens, and beetroots because potassium is essential for lung function and a potassium deficiency can cause breathing problems.
  • Drink plenty of fluids every day to thin mucus and make coughing easier.
  • Consume complex carbohydrates such as lentils, beans, barley, oats, quinoa, bran, peas, and potatoes with skin.
  • Limit or avoid caffeinated beverages such as tea, coffee, soda, and energy drinks such as Red Bull.
  • Consume protein-rich foods like meat, fish (especially salmon, sardines, and mackerel), eggs, and poultry.
  • Exercise on a regular basis to strengthen your breathing muscles and strengthen your immune system. Learning breathing exercises will assist you in moving more air into and out of your lungs.
  • Quit smoking because it can reduce the effectiveness of the Ludolin CFC-Free Inhaler and irritate the lungs, exacerbating the breathing problem.
