Ambroxol + Levosalbutamol + Guaifenesin syrup is a combination medicine comprising three separate drugs. The primary indication of this syrup is a cough with mucus. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widening the airways. Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent which thins and loosens the consistency of mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. The synergetic effect of the three drugs provides relief from cough with mucus.

Ambroxol + Levosalbutamol + Guaifenesin belongs to the class of drugs called expectorants. They are used in the treatment of cough with mucus. The syrup bottle should be shaken vigorously before consumption. It should not be self-medicated and can only be prescribed by your doctor. Take the dosage prescribed in the cap given with the bottle and gulp down the syrup. Based on lifestyle factors and health conditions, people may face side effects like nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, tremor, stomach upset, and diarrhea. If the side effects persist, seek medical consultation. Before taking the syrup inform your doctor if you are allergic to Ambroxol + Levosalbutamol + Guaifenesin or similar medicines.
