Levosalbutamol
Pharmacology
Levosalbutamol is a single isomer beta 2-agonist that differs from racemic salbutamol by elimination of (S)-salbutamol. Levosalbutamol is an effective bronchodilator whose primary mechanism of action is unimpeded by (S)-salbutamol. Thus, when compared with racemic salbutamol, clinically comparable bronchodilation can be achieved with doses that substantially lessen beta-mediated side effects.
Dosage Administration
Tablet- Adults and adolescents above 12 years: 1-2 mg three times daily. Children (6 -11 years): 1 mg three times daily. Syrup- Adults : 5-10 ml three times daily. Childrn (6-11 years): 5 ml three times daily.
