Brodil Levo Syrup contains Levosalbutamol (Oral)
Brodil Levo Syrup side effects
Potentially serious side effects like hypokalamia may result from ß agonist therapy. This effect may be potentiated by hypoxia. The other likely side effects are gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, burning substernal or epigastric pain and diarrhoea. In some cases nervousness, headache, dizziness, fatigue and sleeplessness may occur.
Particular caution is advised in acute severe asthma as this effect may be potentiated by hypoxia and by concomitant treatment with xanthine derivatives, steroids and diuretics. Serum potassium levels should be monitored in such situations. Oral Levosalbutamol should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders, especially coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias or hypertension. Levosalbutamol can be used with caution after myocardial infarction.
Other short-acting sympathomimetic bronchodilators or epinephrine should be used with caution with Levosalbutamol. If additional adrenergic drugs are to be administered by any route, they should be used with caution to avoid deleterious cardiovascular effects.
Use in pregnancy: Use of oral Levosalbutamol in pregnant women should be considered only if the expected benefit to the mother is greater than any possible risk to the foetus or the infant.
Use in lactation: It is not known whether Levosalbutamol is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when oral Levosalbutamol is administered to a nursing woman.
Hypersensitivity to any of the components of the formulation.
