How Ascoril LS Syrup works

Ascoril LS Syrup is a combination of three medicines—Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol, and Guaifenesin. Ambroxol is a mucolytic, which thins and loosens the mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles around the airways, helping to open them up and making breathing easier. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that further helps to clear mucus from the airways by making it thinner and less sticky, promoting its removal through coughing. Together, these medicines work to reduce mucus buildup, ease breathing, and relieve cough associated with mucus.

FAQs

What is Ascoril LS Syrup and what is it used for?

Ascoril LS Syrup is used to treat cough with mucus (wet or productive cough). It helps thin and loosen phlegm so it can be coughed out more easily and also relaxes the airway muscles to improve breathing. It contains ambroxol, a mucolytic that thins mucus; guaifenesin, an expectorant that reduces mucus stickiness; and levosalbutamol, a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles. Because it works by clearing mucus, it is usually not recommended for dry cough where little or no phlegm is present. Use it only as advised by a doctor.

What side effects can Ascoril LS Syrup cause?

Ascoril LS Syrup is generally safe when used as prescribed, but some people may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, dizziness, headache, tremors, palpitations, or muscle cramps.

Stop the medicine and contact your doctor if you develop severe rash, breathing difficulty, fainting, a very fast heartbeat, or persistent vomiting or diarrhea.
