Frequently asked questions
What is Levoxol Syrup?
Levoxol Syrup is a combination of three active ingredients: Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol / Levalbuterol, and Guaifenesin. It is prescribed to treat coughs with excess mucus. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic agent, thinning and loosening the mucus (phlegm) for easier cough-out. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles and widens airways. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of mucus and facilitates its removal from the airways.
Is Levoxol Syrup safe to use?
Levoxol Syrup can be safely used in most patients. However, some may experience common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, allergic reaction, dizziness, headache, rash, urticaria, tremor, palpitations, muscle cramps and increased heart rate. Consult your doctor if you experience any persistent problems.
