Arolax Syrup 1 mg/5 ml contains Levosalbutamol (Levalbuterol), a selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist used as a bronchodilator for the treatment of asthma, bronchospasm, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is formulated as a syrup for easy administration, especially in children and patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets.
Levosalbutamol is the active R-enantiomer of salbutamol, designed to provide effective bronchodilation with potentially fewer side effects. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, allowing easier airflow and improved breathing.
Arolax Syrup helps in relieving symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath. It is commonly used as part of a comprehensive respiratory treatment plan under medical supervision.
