What is Kep-LS Syrup?
Kep-LS Syrup is a combination medication containing Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol / Levalbuterol, and Guaifenesin. It's used to treat cough with mucus. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic, thinning and loosening phlegm for easier coughing. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles, widening airways. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of phlegm, aiding its removal from the airways.
Is Kep-LS Syrup safe to use?
Kep-LS Syrup is generally considered safe for most patients. However, it can cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, allergic reactions, dizziness, headache, rash, urticaria, tremor, palpitations, muscle cramps, and increased heart rate. If you experience persistent problems while using this medication, please inform your doctor.
