Frequently asked questions

Embrox XL Syrup contains a combination of three active ingredients: Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol/Levalbuterol, and Guaifenesin. It is used to treat cough with mucus. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic agent, thinning and loosening phlegm for easier coughing. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles, widening the airways. Guaifenesin works as an expectorant, decreasing mucus stickiness to facilitate its removal from airways.
