Duolin Inhaler

Product Overview

Duolin Inhaler is used to manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. It helps relax the muscles around the airways, making breathing easier, and relieves symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

This inhaler is intended for regular use and may take a few days to start showing effects, with maximum benefits observed after several weeks. Consistent use is essential even when symptoms are not present, as stopping the medication may worsen your condition. Duolin Inhaler is not for sudden breathing difficulties; in such cases, a rescue inhaler should be used. Proper inhaler technique is crucial for effectiveness.

Uses

Management and prevention of asthma

Treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Prevention and treatment of bronchitis

Benefits

Duolin Inhaler eases breathing by reducing airway swelling and widening the air passages. This allows better airflow in and out of the lungs, improving overall respiratory function and comfort during daily activities.

Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and temporary. Consult your doctor if they persist.

Common side effects include:

Dry mouth

Cough

Tremors or shakiness

Headache

Palpitations

Muscle cramps

Back or chest pain

Fatigue, dizziness, or nausea

Gastrointestinal disturbances (diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain)

Changes in taste

Rinsing your mouth or brushing teeth after use can help reduce some side effects.

How to Use

Shake the inhaler before use.

Inhale slowly while pressing the inhaler once to release the medicine.

Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, then exhale.

Repeat for the number of puffs prescribed.

Rinse your mouth thoroughly afterward.

How It Works

Duolin Inhaler contains two active ingredients: Levosalbutamol (a bronchodilator) and Ipratropium (an anticholinergic). Together, they relax airway muscles and open the air passages, allowing easier breathing and improved airflow.
