Levosalbutamol, also called Levalbuterol, is a short-acting beta agonist used as a bronchodilator in patients with asthma, COPD, or similar breathing ailments. The medication widens and relaxes the airways, allowing the patient to breathe easier. It is most widely used in nebulizer or inhaler formulations as a rescue treatment.

This product is very similar to the widely-used albuterol (also known as salbutamol), also a short-acting beta agonist. In general Levosalbutamol is shown to work about as well as albuterol, and some studies indicate it is less likely produce certain side effects associated with albuterol. Other studies indicate Levosalbutamol is a little more likely to produce other, equally-worrisome side effects. Ultimately the decision to buy Levosalbutamol or albuterol is between the patient and a doctor, who can explain potential risks of each medication in detail.

Though a less common use than rescue inhalers, it's also possible to buy Levosalbutamol in combination inhalers generally used for maintenance. Often (but not always) also containing an inhaled steroid, Levosalbutamol is included to to act as a bronchodilator, easing breathing. Maintenance inhalers should be taken regularly on a schedule and not be used instead of a rescue inhaler.

Taking Levosalbutamol

Patients who buy Levosalbutamol as a rescue treatment should try to stick close to doctor instructions, though in practice use deviates rather a lot---some days it may be needed every few hours, other days not at all. Both asthma and COPD can, and often do, fluctuate quite a bit.

General treatment guidelines for otherwise healthy adults are:

• Take one or two inhalations every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
• If the above is consistently exceeded for more than a few inhalations, consider medical attention.

Children will require modified dosing, best determined by a doctor.

Some relief should be felt within a few seconds of an inhalation, and maximum benefit will be felt within 5 or 10 minutes. In most cases that will be all that's needed for several hours.

Sometimes, though, when asthma or COPD is particularly aggravated, the above dosing may not be sufficient to fully manage symptoms, and many patients use the medication more frequently. Adult patients without any other major medical conditions can probably get away with doing so for a day or two, but children or those with other medical conditions are advised to seek medical attention instead.

In the vast majority of cases those who buy Levosalbutamol use it with no problems. Quality of life is often improved as a rescue inhaler allows patients to move more, get out more, and resolve breathing difficulties in just a few moments. Whether Levosalbutamol, albuterol, Primatene, or some other rescue inhaler, all patients with asthma, COPD, or other chronic breathing ailments will benefit from having one.

Potential Side Effects

Most side effects from Levosalbutamol are mild and not cause for concern, including:

• Mild flushing
• Mild muscle cramps
• Mild tremor or shaking
• Dry mouth
• Slightly elevated heart rate
• Difficulty sleeping

Rarely patients may experience more serious side effects, which are strikingly similar to symptoms of overdosing. All patients who buy Levosalbutamol should be alert for the following, and seek medical attention if experienced:

• Very rapid or erratic heartbeat
• Significant muscle tremor
• Significant increase in rate of breathing
• Chest pain
• Very high or very low blood pressure
• Severe dizziness
• Severe nausea or vomiting
• Exhaustion/fatigue

Certain other medications may interfere with Levosalbutamol's effectiveness; check with a doctor or pharmacist if unsure. Simultaneous use of any strong stimulants, such as other types of rescue inhalers, large doses of caffeine, or recreational drugs such as cocaine can increase risk of serious side effects or overdose.
