Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that thins and loosens mucus, making it easier to cough out. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator; it works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens them. Guaifenesin acts as an expectorant, decreasing the stickiness of phlegm and aiding its removal from the airways.

If these symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
