Duolin Rotacap 30’s

Duolin Rotacap 30’s is a combination inhalation therapy used for the management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma. It contains Ipratropium Bromide and Levosalbutamol, which work together to relax airway muscles, improve airflow, and relieve breathing difficulties.

This medication is not a rescue inhaler but is intended for long-term control of respiratory conditions. It is used with a Rotahaler device for direct delivery into the lungs.

• Reduces hospital visits by helping control chronic breathing conditions.

How Duolin Rotacaps Work

• Ipratropium Bromide is an anticholinergic that prevents airway narrowing by blocking acetylcholine receptors.
