I'm a 21-year-old girl and I've been prescribed a Levolin inhaler for my asthma treatment. I'm wondering how it compares to the Asthalin inhaler and what makes Levolin a better choice for me. Could you help explain the differences?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Levolin (levosalbutamol) inhaler is considered better than Asthalin (salbutamol) inhaler for some patients because levosalbutamol is the active R-enantiomer of salbutamol, which provides more targeted and effective bronchodilation with potentially fewer side effects, making it a preferred option for asthma management.

View allI've been on TB medication for 9 months now. I weighed 50 kg at the start, but now I'm up to 69 kg, and I do feel less tired. The issue is that I sometimes get a slight pain in the upper part of my chest when I take a deep breath while standing. It's strange because I don't feel any pain if I'm lying down and doing the same thing, and I actually breathe easier after a workout. It's really been bothering me. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

What does it mean when a chest X-ray shows prominent bilateral perihilar vascular markings? Is that something I should be worried about? The rest of my results were normal, but I'm not sure what this part implies.

I've been yawning a lot and feeling like I constantly need to take deep breaths, almost like I can't get enough air. It's really weird and a little worrying. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it be related to stress or something else?
