Medicinal Benefits:
Alaspan AG Syrup is a combination drug containing three medicines: Loratadine, ambroxol, and guaifenesin. Alaspan AG Syrup is primarily used to treat allergic symptoms like sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itchy nose/throat, common cold, and cough. Loratadine is an antihistamine (anti-allergic drug) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Thus, it helps provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing/runny nose, red/itchy/watery eyes, throat swelling, itchy throat, and congestion or stiffness. Ambroxol belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that work by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose for coughing out easily. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that increase the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus, and remove it from the airways.
