AMROX LS JUNIOR SYRUP 60ML

Product Introduction:

Amrox LS Junior Syrup is a combination medication containing Levosalbutamol (0.5mg), Ambroxol (15mg), and Guaifenesin (50mg). This syrup is formulated to provide relief from respiratory conditions such as cough, chest congestion, and breathing difficulties in children. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator, Ambroxol is an expectorant, and Guaifenesin is a mucolytic agent.

Amrox LS Junior 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 dizziness, vomiting, change in taste, diarrhea, headache, and rashes. 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. Bronchodilation: Levosalbutamol helps to relax the smooth muscles of the airways, thereby relieving bronchospasm and improving airflow to the lungs.
2. Mucus Clearance: Ambroxol and Guaifenesin work as expectorants and mucolytics to help thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear the respiratory passages.
3. Symptom Relief: Amrox LS Junior Syrup provides relief from coughing, chest congestion, and difficulty breathing associated with respiratory conditions, allowing for easier breathing and improved comfort.

Side Effects:

While Amrox LS Junior Syrup is generally well-tolerated, some children may experience side effects, which may include:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Nervousness or tremor (due to the bronchodilator effect of Levosalbutamol)
• Gastrointestinal upset, such as stomach discomfort or diarrhea
• Allergic reactions (rare but possible)

If any severe or persistent side effects occur, discontinue use of the syrup and seek medical attention promptly.
