Indications

Actisal is used to treat or prevent bronchospasm in adults, adolescents, and children aged 6 years and older who have reversible obstructive airway disease.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Levosalbutamol is a single-isomer beta-2 agonist that differs from racemic salbutamol by removal of (S)-salbutamol. It is an effective bronchodilator whose main mechanism of action is not hindered by (S)-salbutamol. As a result, compared with racemic salbutamol, similar bronchodilation can be achieved at doses that considerably reduce beta-mediated side effects.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Levosalbutamol should only be used in pregnancy if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the unborn baby. It is not known whether the drug passes into breast milk, so it should be used with caution in nursing mothers taking it by mouth.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
