Medical Description

Duojet respule is used to treat the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, and wheezing. It contains a combination of ipratropium and levosalbutamol as active ingredients. This medicine works by reducing the narrowing of the smooth muscles in the airways. Duojet respule also helps to relax the airway muscles, making breathing easier.

COPD is a chronic lung disease in which the lungs become inflamed and the airflow in and out of the lungs is reduced. This obstruction leads to symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness.

Duojet respule should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It should always be administered using a nebulizer, a device that converts the medicine into a fine mist so it can reach the lungs effectively. Your doctor or pharmacist will guide you on the correct use of the nebulizer.
