Hypersensitivity to any of the components of the formulation.

Particular caution is advised in acute severe asthma as this effect may be potentiated by hypoxia and by concomitant treatment with xanthine derivatives, steroids and diuretics. Serum potassium levels should be monitored in such situations. Oral Levosalbutamol should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders, especially coronary insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias or hypertension. Levosalbutamol can be used with caution after myocardial infarction.

Potentially serious side effects like hypokalamia may result from ß-2 agonist therapy. This effect may be potentiated by hypoxia. The other likely side effects are gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, burning substernal or epigastric pain and diarrhoea. In some cases nervousness, headache, dizziness, fatigue and sleeplessness may occur.

Other short-acting sympathomimetic bronchodilators or epinephrine should be used with caution with Levosalbutamol. If additional adrenergic drugs are to be administered by any route, they should be used with caution to avoid deleterious cardiovascular effects. Diuretics (such as loop or thiazide diuretics) can be acutely worsened by beta-agonists. Hence, caution is advised in the coadministration of beta-agonists with non-potassium sparing diuretics. It reduces serum digoxin levels in patients who are currently receiving digoxin & Levosalbutamol. Levosalbutamol should be administered with extreme caution to patients being treated with MAOI or TCA.
