What are Levolin Respules 0.31mg (Levosalbutamol)?
Levolin Respules 0.31mg (Levosalbutamol) is a prescription bronchodilator solution made for nebuliser use. People usually look for this type of medicine when breathing suddenly feels tight or noisy, like wheezing, or when shortness of breath shows up during asthma flare-ups or other conditions that cause bronchospasm. It’s not a steroid. It’s meant to open the airways by relaxing the muscles that squeeze around them. One reason many clinicians choose levosalbutamol (also called levalbuterol in some markets) is that it’s the “active” form of salbutamol. In real life, that often means it can work well at smaller doses for some patients, though response can vary person to person. If you have ever used a rescue inhaler but need a nebuliser option for home use, a respule format can be easier during an episode when taking deep, coordinated breaths is hard.What Levolin Respules is used for
Levolin Respules 0.31mg (Levosalbutamol) is commonly prescribed for relief of bronchospasm linked to:
- Asthma (including acute symptoms)
- COPD or chronic bronchitis-related airway spasm (when your prescriber says it’s appropriate)
- Other reactive airway conditions where a short-acting bronchodilator is needed
It is generally used for symptom relief, not as the only long-term plan to control inflammation. If you are using quick-relief breathing treatments more often than expected, it may be a sign that your baseline control needs reassessment.
How Levosalbutamol Works
When airways tighten, less air moves in and out. Levosalbutamol stimulates beta-2 receptors in the lungs, which helps relax airway muscles. As the muscles relax, the tubes open, improving airflow. Many people notice easier breathing, less wheeze, and less chest tightness when it’s working.How it’s typically used
Levolin Respules 0.31mg (Levosalbutamol) is designed to be used with a nebuliser machine that turns the liquid into a mist you breathe in through a mouthpiece or mask. The exact dose and schedule depend on age, diagnosis, symptom severity, and your response. Follow the prescription instructions closely, since overuse can raise the risk of side effects and can also mask worsening asthma or COPD.Possible side effects to know about
Like other short-acting bronchodilators, side effects can happen, especially if doses are higher than needed. Commonly reported ones include:
- Shakiness or tremor
- Nervousness or feeling jittery
- Headache
- Fast heartbeat or palpitations
Seek urgent care if you have chest pain, severe dizziness, fainting, swelling of the face or throat, or worsening breathing right after a treatment (rare, but important).
Precautions and interactions
Tell your prescriber if you have heart rhythm problems, high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or seizure disorders. Also mention all medications and supplements. Some drugs may increase side effects or affect heart rate, including certain stimulants, decongestants, and some antidepressants. Beta-blockers may reduce the bronchodilator effect in some cases. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your clinician should weigh symptom control needs versus potential risks.Available Strengths (Other Dosages)

Do Levolin Respules need to be refrigerated after opening the pouch?
Storage rules can differ by manufacturer. Check the carton insert and the individual pouch labelling for temperature limits and “use by” guidance once opened.
Can I mix Levolin Respules with normal saline or other nebuliser medicines?
Some combinations are used in practice, but compatibility depends on the specific medication and concentrations. Ask a pharmacist or prescriber before mixing anything in the nebuliser cup.
What should I do if I miss a scheduled nebuliser dose?
