About Redivent Respules

Redivent Respules belongs to the class of 'bronchodilators' primarily used to treat bronchospasm and symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Redivent Respules helps to 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).

Redivent Respules contains 'Levosalbutamol,' which is also known as levalbuterol. Redivent Respules is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways and increases airflow to the lungs. Redivent Respules thus makes breathing easier by widening the airways.
