LEVOSALBUTAMOL SULPHATE+AMBROXOL HYDROCHLORIDE+GUAIPHENESIN

About

AMBROXOL HYDROCHLORIDE+GUAIPHENESIN+LEVOSALBUTAMOL SULPHATE belongs to the class of medicines called 'expectorants' primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways. 

AMBROXOL HYDROCHLORIDE+GUAIPHENESIN+LEVOSALBUTAMOL SULPHATE is a combination of three drugs, namely Levosalbutamol sulphate (bronchodilator), Ambroxol hydrochloride (mucolytic agent), and Guaiphenesin (expectorant). Levosalbutamol sulphate works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Ambroxol hydrochloride is a mucolytic drug that thins and loosens phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. It also thins and softens coughs and sputum, facilitating simple coughing out as a result. Guaiphenesin works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reducing the stickiness of mucus, and helping to remove it from the airways.

Take AMBROXOL HYDROCHLORIDE+GUAIPHENESIN+LEVOSALBUTAMOL SULPHATE as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take AMBROXOL HYDROCHLORIDE+GUAIPHENESIN+LEVOSALBUTAMOL SULPHATE based on your medical condition.

However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using AMBROXOL HYDROCHLORIDE+GUAIPHENESIN+LEVOSALBUTAMOL SULPHATE.

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Cough: Coughing is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus, and other matter) from the lungs. A dry cough does not produce phlegm. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, it indicates you may have allergies or a minor infection in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
