Frequently asked questions
What is Dracuff LS Syrup?
Dracuff LS Syrup contains three active ingredients: Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol / Levalbuterol, and Guaifenesin. It is prescribed for the treatment of cough with mucus. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic, thinning and loosening phlegm to facilitate its expulsion through coughing. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator which relaxes airway muscles, widening airways. Guaifenesin functions as an expectorant, decreasing the stickiness of mucus for easier removal from airways.
