Medical Description

Duolin respules are used to treat breathing difficulties, coughing, and whistling sounds, which are symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is a disorder in which the lung is damaged and making the passage of air in the lungs difficult. It contains a combination of ipratropium and levosalbutamol.

Duolin respules block the effect of substances that produce the tightening of air tubes in the lungs and relax them. Patients with diabetes, glaucoma, prostate or heart problems should cautiously use this medicine.
