How it works
Kofarest-PD Drop is a combination of three medicines: Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol, and Guaifenesin. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm) making it easier to cough out. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Together they make breathing easier.
Quick Tips
