Expert advice

• Only use if the cough is moist and makes mucus.
• Make sure the youngster consumes enough fluids. Warm water helps mucus go away faster.
• Stay away from harsh smells, dust, smoke, and chilly air.
• Watch for a fast heartbeat, shaky hands, or being tense.
• Before each dose, shake the bottle well.
• Don't take more than the recommended dose; an overdose could produce tremors or heart palpitations.
• Get medical help right away if your symptoms get worse or you have trouble breathing.
• Keep the bottle firmly closed and at room temperature.

Side effects

• Upset stomach
• A little headache
• Shaky hands or tremors

• Anxiety, being unable to sit still
• A little bit of dizziness

Serious yet Uncommon:

• A bad allergic reaction (rash, edema, trouble breathing)
• Very fast heart rate
• Pain in the chest
• Low potassium levels that happen suddenly (muscle cramps, weakness)
• If you have severe symptoms, get medical help right away.

How It Works

• There are three drugs in Amrox-LS Syrup that work.
• Ambroxol (Mucolytic): It breaks up thick mucus so that it is easier to cough up.
• Guaifenesin (Expectorant): It loosens up stubborn mucus, which helps clear the airways.
• Levosalbutamol (Bronchodilator): It relaxes the muscles in the airways, which makes them wider and makes breathing easier.
• They work together to lower mucus levels, clear airways, and ease coughing and breathing problems.

Medicines interaction

• Beta-blockers, such as propranolol, make levosalbutamol less effective.
• Other bronchodilators can make tremors or palpitations worse.
• Thyroid medications → may exacerbate negative effects
• Diuretics and steroids can reduce potassium levels even more.
• Antiarrhythmic drugs require cardiac monitoring.
• Dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant, may make mucus build up.
• Always tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking.

How to Use

• Before each usage, shake well.
• Give the precise amount that the doctor or pediatrician told you to.
• Never guess how much to take; always use the measuring cap or spoon that comes with it.
• Can be taken with or without food; if your stomach hurts, take it after eating.
• Encourage warm fluids to help remove mucus.
• Don't mix with other cough syrups unless your doctor says it's okay.
• Finish the whole course even if your symptoms get better.
• Keep it in a cool, dry spot where the sun doesn't shine directly on it.
