AMROX LS SYRUP 60ML

Product Introduction:

Amrox LS Syrup is a combination medication consisting of Ambroxol (30mg), Levosalbutamol (1mg), and Guaifenesin (50mg). This syrup is formulated to provide relief from respiratory conditions such as cough, chest congestion, and breathing difficulties. Ambroxol acts as an expectorant, Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator, and Guaifenesin is a mucolytic agent.

Amrox LS Syrup is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early your symptoms may come back and your condition may worsen. Let your healthcare team know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.

The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, vomiting, muscle cramp, headache, skin rash, and increased heart rate. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects. This medicine can also cause sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as it can make sleepiness worse.

Never support self-medication or recommend your medicine to another person. It is beneficial to have plenty of fluids while taking this medication. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. You should also tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver diseases so that your doctor can prescribe a suitable dose for you.

Benefits:

1. Mucus Clearance: Ambroxol and Guaifenesin help to thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear the respiratory passages.
2. Bronchodilation: Levosalbutamol helps to relax the smooth muscles of the airways, thereby relieving bronchospasm and improving airflow to the lungs.
3. Symptom Relief: Amrox LS Syrup provides relief from coughing, chest congestion, and difficulty breathing associated with respiratory conditions, leading to improved comfort and ease of breathing.
