Product Description

Duolin LD Respules (2.5 ml each) is used to manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a lung condition where airflow is restricted. This medicine works by relaxing the muscles around the airways, allowing air to flow more freely. It helps alleviate symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and difficulty in breathing.

Your healthcare provider will advise you on the appropriate frequency of use. You may start noticing improvements within a few days, but it might take several weeks to experience the full benefits. Regular use is essential for the treatment to be effective, even when symptoms are absent. This indicates that the medicine is controlling your condition. If you stop using it without medical advice, your respiratory symptoms may worsen. This medication is not intended for sudden breathing emergencies—use your prescribed rescue inhaler for immediate relief.

Proper use of the nebulizer is vital to ensure the medicine reaches your lungs effectively. Incorrect technique may limit its effectiveness.

Benefits

For asthma, this medicine helps by reducing inflammation in the airways, widening them, and making breathing easier. This allows better airflow in and out of the lungs, helping you manage respiratory symptoms.

How to Use

Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration. Before use, carefully read the label. Open the respule by twisting off the top, then squeeze the entire liquid into the nebulizer chamber. The medicine should be used immediately after opening.

How It Works

Duolin LD Respules contain Levosalbutamol, a bronchodilator, and Ipratropium, an anticholinergic agent. These two components work together to relax airway muscles and widen the passages, making breathing easier.
