Livodel Syrup contains Levosalbutamol, a selective beta-2 adrenergic bronchodilator used for the relief and management of bronchospasm associated with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory conditions. It helps relax airway muscles, making breathing easier and reducing symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
This oral syrup formulation is especially suitable for pediatric and elderly patients who require easy and accurate dosing.

Composition
-
Active Ingredient: Levosalbutamol
-
Strength: 1 mg per 5 ml

Mechanism of Action
Levosalbutamol selectively stimulates beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the bronchial smooth muscles. This leads to:
