Question almost 6 years ago

How does Dilo LS work?

Dr. Anand Singh MBBS , General Physician

Dilo LS is a bronchodilator which causes widening of bronchial smooth muscles present in the lungs which get tightened causing a constriction. Due to the constriction, the air cannot pass in and out of your lungs, and the relaxation of these bronchial muscles results in dilation of airways. This helps the patients breathe more easily which provides relief to the patient from the symptoms such as wheezing, and chest tightness.
