Brodil Levo Syrup contains Levosalbutamol 1 mg per 5 ml, a selective beta-2 adrenergic bronchodilator formulated for oral use. It is used to relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Levosalbutamol is the active levo-isomer of salbutamol, offering effective bronchodilation with potentially fewer side effects compared to racemic salbutamol. The syrup form makes it convenient for children and adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets.
