R.S. BUDEPRESS LEVO 

Levosalbutamol Hydrochloride (1.25mg) & Budesonide (0.5mg) Inhalation Suspension

R.S. BUDEPRESS LEVO is a combination inhalation suspension containing Levosalbutamol Hydrochloride (1.25mg) and Budesonide (0.5mg). This medication is widely used for the management and treatment of respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The combination of these two active ingredients provides a potent therapeutic effect, helping to alleviate symptoms, reduce inflammation, and improve overall lung function. This article delves into the uses, dosage, side effects, and other essential details about R.S. BUDEPRESS LEVO to provide a comprehensive understanding of this medication.

Uses

Asthma Management

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that causes breathing difficulties. R.S. BUDEPRESS LEVO is used as a maintenance treatment to control and prevent asthma symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. The medication helps in reducing the frequency and severity of asthma attacks, allowing patients to lead a more active and normal life.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

COPD is a progressive lung disease characterized by long-term breathing problems and poor airflow. R.S. BUDEPRESS LEVO is beneficial in managing COPD by reducing inflammation in the airways and relaxing the muscles around the airways, making it easier to breathe. It helps in improving lung function and quality of life for patients with COPD.

Prevention of Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm

Exercise-induced bronchospasm is a condition where physical activity triggers narrowing of the airways, leading to breathing difficulties. R.S. BUDEPRESS LEVO can be used to prevent this condition by pre-treating with the medication before engaging in physical activities.

How R.S. BUDEPRESS LEVO Works

Levosalbutamol Hydrochloride

Levosalbutamol Hydrochloride is a beta-2 adrenergic agonist. It works by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the lungs, leading to relaxation of the bronchial muscles.  Levosalbutamol provides quick relief from acute bronchospasm and is effective in treating sudden asthma attacks.

Budesonide

 It inhibits multiple types of inflammatory cells and mediators, leading to decreased swelling and mucus production in the airways. Budesonide (0.5 mg) is effective in preventing and controlling chronic inflammation associated with asthma and COPD, thereby improving breathing and reducing the frequency of exacerbations.

Dosage and Administration

Dosage

The typical dosage of R.S. BUDEPRESS LEVO for adults and children above 12 years of age is one inhalation of the suspension (containing Levosalbutamol 1.25mg and Budesonide 0.5mg) twice daily. The dosage may be adjusted based on the severity of the condition and the patient’s response to the treatment.

Administration

1. Preparation: Shake the inhalation suspension well before use. Ensure that the nebulizer is clean and functioning properly.

2. Nebulization: Pour the prescribed amount of R.S. BUDEPRESS LEVO into the nebulizer chamber. Use the nebulizer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

3. Inhalation: Inhale the medication through the mouthpiece or mask until the nebulizer produces no more mist. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

4. After Use: Rinse the mouth with water without swallowing to prevent fungal infections in the mouth (oral thrush). Clean the nebulizer parts thoroughly after each use.
