How Indikof Ls Sugar Free Syrup 100ml Works?

Indikof Ls Sugar Free Syrup 100ml contains three active ingredients:

Ambroxol (30 mg): This mucolytic agent thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. It breaks down complex substances in mucus, reducing its thickness and stickiness. Ambroxol also stimulates the production of a substance that keeps the small air sacs in the lungs open.
Guaifenesin (50 mg): As an expectorant, guaifenesin increases the volume and reduces the thickness of respiratory tract mucus. By stimulating certain receptors, it promotes mucus secretion. The increased hydration and reduced stickiness of mucus help in its removal through coughing.
Levosalbutamol (1 mg): This ingredient is a type of salbutamol that selectively acts on specific receptors in the lungs. Levosalbutamol works as a bronchodilator, relaxing the muscles of the airways from the windpipe to the smallest air tubes. This reduces airflow resistance and makes breathing easier.

If you are pregnant, take caution while using Indikof Ls Sugar Free Syrup 100ml. It's always wise to consult your doctor before starting this medication.

Breastfeeding

Indikof Ls Sugar Free Syrup 100ml should be taken with care if you're breastfeeding. Discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor.

Allergy

Avoid using Indikof Ls Sugar Free Syrup 100ml if you're allergic to ambroxol, guaifenesin, levosalbutamol, or any other ingredients in this medicine.

Children
