Mode of Action of DUOLIN 3 500MCG/1.25MG 3ML PACKET OF 5 RESPULES
How Does It Work?
- COPD is a common lung problem that produces damage to the lungs over a period. This condition produces symptoms like coughing with mucous for a long time eventually leading to breathing difficulties.
- Duolin respules works by the anticholinergic effect of Ipratropium and the bronchodilator effect of Salbutamol.
- A few chemical substances (Acetylcholine) released in the body are responsible for the tightness of breathing tubes.
- Ipratropium blocks the effect of this substance and decreases the tone of breathing tubes, thus making breathing easier.
- Levosalbutamol acts mainly on smaller lung tubes and dilates them by relaxing the muscles.
