Side Effects

Hypocalcaemia, palpitation, fine tremors of the skeletal muscle and muscle cramps may occur. The other likely side effects are nausea, vomiting, burning substernal or epigastric pain and diarrhoea.

Precaution

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.

Interaction

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 will be used with caution to avoid deleterious cardiovascular effects.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

The drug should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk of the fetus. It is not known whether Levosalbutamol is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when oral Levosalbutamol is administered to a nursing woman.

Contraindication

Levosalbutamol is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to levosalbutamol or any of its components.

Acute Overdose

The expected symptoms with over dosage are those of excessive beta-adrenergic stimulation and the symptoms listed under side effects. In the event of serious poisoning, the stomach should be emptied and, if necessary, a beta-blocker administered with caution in patients with a history of bronchospasm.
