How Levostar Syrup Works

Levostar Syrup functions by targeting the beta-2 adrenergic receptors located in the bronchial smooth muscle. When the active ingredient, Levosalbutamol Sulphate, binds to these receptors, it stimulates adenylate cyclase to convert ATP into cyclic AMP (cAMP). The rise in cAMP levels triggers protein kinase A (PKA), which reduces intracellular calcium levels. This cascade of events results in:

• Relaxation of the bronchial muscles
• Widening of the airways (bronchodilation)
• Reduced release of inflammatory mediators, which further supports improved respiratory function

The rapid onset of action—typically within 5 to 15 minutes—ensures that patients experience prompt relief from bronchospasm.

Safety and Precautions for Levostar Syrup

Levostar Syrup 1mg/5ml 100ml is generally safe when used as directed; however, certain precautions must be observed:

• Contraindications: Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to Levosalbutamol or any of the product components.
• Side Effects: Common side effects may include tremors, palpitations, nausea, and occasional muscle cramps. If these effects become severe or persist, consult your doctor.
• Pregnancy and Lactation: Use during pregnancy only if the benefits outweigh the risks, and exercise caution when administering to nursing mothers.
• Severe Asthma: In cases of acute, severe asthma, careful monitoring is essential, particularly when used in conjunction with other respiratory medications such as xanthine derivatives, steroids, or diuretics. Regular monitoring of serum potassium levels is advised to prevent hypokalemia.
