Frequently asked questions
What is Levoport Syrup?
Levoport Syrup is a combination of Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol / Levalbuterol, and Guaifenesin. It is prescribed for treating cough with mucus. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic by thinning and loosening the phlegm, making it easier to cough up. Levosalbutamol works as a bronchodilator by relaxing airway muscles and widening the airways. Guaifenesin functions as an expectorant by reducing the stickiness of the mucus and aiding its removal from the airways.
Is it safe to use Levoport Syrup?
Levoport Syrup is generally considered safe for most patients. However, some individuals 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. It's important to report any persistent problems to your doctor.
