What is Levolin Inhaler?
The Levolin Inhaler helps prevent and manage bronchospasms, as well as preventing asthma attacks. It works by reducing inflammation and irritation inside the patient's lungs, which leads to a decreased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). It is important to note that this medication, while effective in preventing asthma attacks, is not effective at treating acute asthma attacks.
How is Levolin Inhaler used?
The Levolin Inhaler should be administered 1 or 2 sprays per nostril, between 2 to 4 times per day or as directed by a doctor. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage as it will depend on the patient's condition and their reaction to the medication. The inhaler is used in the same manner as most generic inhalers. Before administration, the inhaler should be gently shaken to ensure the solution is mixed sufficiently. If the inhaler has not been used before or has not been used in several days, you should prime it by squeezing a few test sprays into the air first.
