Description
Ambroxol HCL, Luvosalbutamol, and Guaiphenesin Syrup are classified as ‘expectorants’ and are mainly used to alleviate coughs linked to mucus. Coughing, whether dry or productive, serves as the body’s mechanism to remove irritants such as allergens, mucus, or smoke from the airways and to help prevent infections. There are primarily two categories of coughs: dry coughs and chesty coughs. A dry cough is characterized by a tickling sensation and does not produce any thick or viscous mucus, whereas a chesty cough (also known as a wet cough) results in the production of mucus or sputum to assist in clearing the airways.
How Does Ambroxol HCL, Luvosalbutamol, and Guaiphenesin Syrup Work?
Ambroxol HCL, Luvosalbutamol, and Guaiphenesin Syrup is a mix of three medications: Levosalbutamol sulfate (a bronchodilator), Ambroxol hydrochloride (a mucolytic agent), and Guaifenesin (an expectorant). Levosalbutamol sulfate relaxes the muscles and widens the air passages in the lungs. Ambroxol hydrochloride acts as a mucolytic drug that helps to thin and loosen mucus in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. It also makes coughs and sputum less thick and easier to expel. Guaifenesin increases the amount of fluid in the airways, making mucus less sticky, which aids in its removal.
