How it works
Mucomelt LS Syrup contains three active medicines. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus, making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of the mucus and helps in its removal from the airways. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes and widens the muscles in the airways.
Quick Tips

Do not share your child’s medicines with other children, even if they show similar symptoms. Stop Mucomelt LS Syrup and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. Clean and disinfect surfaces after sneezing and coughing to avoid allergies. Give your child plenty of fluids as it helps to thin and loosen the mucus accumulated in the lungs.
