Duolin Respules

Duolin Respules contain Levosalbutamol and Ipratropium Bromide, a powerful bronchodilator combination that helps relieve bronchospasms in COPD and severe asthma. It works by relaxing airway muscles, reducing wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness. Designed for nebulization, it delivers fast and effective relief, ensuring better oxygen flow.

Ideal for chronic respiratory conditions, Duolin enhances lung function and improves daily activities. It is not for oral use and should be administered as prescribed to avoid side effects like dry mouth, tremors, or palpitations.

This dual-action formula provides long-lasting respiratory relief, making breathing easier and more comfortable for patients with lung disorders.
