Frequently asked questions
What is Costus-LS Syrup?
Costus-LS Syrup is a combination of Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol / Levalbuterol, and Guaifenesin. It's used to treat cough with mucus. Ambroxol is a mucolytic; it thins and loosens phlegm (mucus), making it easier to cough up. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator; it relaxes airway muscles and widens the airways. Guaifenesin is an expectorant; it decreases the stickiness of mucus, helping to remove it easily from the airways.
Is Costus-LS Syrup safe to use?
Costus-LS Syrup can be used safely by most patients. However, some people may experience common side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, allergic reaction, dizziness, headache, rash, urticaria, tremor, palpitations, muscle cramp, and increased heart rate. If you experience any persistent problems while taking the medicine, talk to your doctor.
