Levokof Syrup is a combination of Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol/Levalbuterol, and Guaifenesin. It's prescribed for cough with mucus. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic, thinning and loosening the mucus to facilitate easier coughing. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles, widening them. Guaifenesin functions as an expectorant by reducing the stickiness of mucus, aiding its removal from airways.
Is Levokof Syrup safe to use?
Levokof Syrup is generally considered safe for most patients. However, some may experience common side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, allergic reactions, dizziness, headache, rash, urticaria, tremor, palpitations, muscle cramps, and increased heart rate. If you experience persistent issues while taking the medicine, consult your doctor.
