Expert Advice :
Levosalbutamol is used to relieve symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as coughing, wheezing and breathlessness. The inhalers are called 'reliever' inhalers as they give you quick relief from breathing problems. Always keep the inhaler upright during loading of the dose and administration steps. Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help. Gargle with warm water after each inhalation to avoid any fungal infections in your mouth and throat. If you need to use Levosalbutamol more than 3 times a week, it could be a sign that your breathing problem is not well controlled. Talk to your doctor about it. Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart diseases or if you experience heart racing, headache, or chest pain.
