Brodil Levo Inhaler contains Levosalbutamol 50 mcg per puff, a selective beta-2 adrenergic bronchodilator designed for rapid relief of bronchospasm in respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Levosalbutamol is the active levo-isomer of salbutamol, providing targeted bronchodilation with potentially fewer side effects compared to racemic salbutamol. The inhaler delivers precise doses directly to the lungs, offering fast relief from wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness.
