Product Introduction:
Ambrodil LX Syrup is a medication combining three active ingredients: Ambroxol (30mg/5ml), Levosalbutamol (1mg/5ml), and Guaifenesin (50mg/5ml). It is used primarily to alleviate symptoms associated with respiratory conditions such as cough, chest congestion, and difficulty breathing.
Ambrodil LX 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:
- Ambroxol: Functions as a mucolytic agent, aiding in the breakdown of mucus in the respiratory tract, facilitating its removal and providing relief from congestion.
- Levosalbutamol: Acts as a bronchodilator, relaxing the muscles in the airways to widen them, thus making it easier to breathe.
- Guaifenesin: Works as an expectorant, thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, which helps in expelling it through coughing.
