How Does Levalbuterol/Levosalbutamol 0.63mg/2.5ml Work

Levalbuterol/Levosalbutamol is a selective beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist. It stimulates these receptors in the airway smooth muscle, causing the muscles to relax and the airways to widen. This reduces airway resistance, improves breathing, and alleviates symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
