About Purisal 1mg Tablet

Purisal 1mg Tablet belongs to the class of 'bronchodilators' primarily used to treat symptoms of bronchospasm, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Purisal 1mg Tablet 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).

Purisal 1mg Tablet 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. Purisal 1mg Tablet thus makes breathing easier by widening the airways.
