How it works:
Levosalbutamol relaxes the smooth muscle in the airways (bronchi), which opens up the airways and makes it easier for air to flow through.
Ambroxol makes mucus less thick by breaking it down and thinning it. This makes it easier to get rid of.
Guaifenesin is an expectorant, which means it helps loosen and get rid of phlegm in the airways.
The syrup helps open up airways, cut down on mucus buildup, make coughing with phlegm easier, and make breathing easier by doing all of these things at once.

Medicine interaction:
Beta-blockers like propranolol and atenolol might make levosalbutamol less effective as a bronchodilator.
This syrup and diuretics (such furosemide) may raise the risk of low potassium (hypokalaemia) because bronchodilators can deplete potassium.
When administered with bronchodilators, cardiac glycosides (like digoxin) may cause arrhythmias.
Tricyclic antidepressants (imipramine, amitriptyline) may exacerbate cardiovascular adverse effects when used concomitantly with levosalbutamol.
Some foods and drinks, including grapefruit juice, may get in the way (though there isn't much precise research on this). Be careful.
Before you use this syrup, you should always tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, even over-the-counter and herbal supplements.
