Frequently asked questions
What is Mucorex LS Syrup?
Mucorex LS Syrup is a combination medication that contains three active ingredients: Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol (also known as Levalbuterol), and Guaifenesin. It is used to treat coughs with mucus. Each ingredient works differently to help relieve symptoms. Ambroxol helps thin and loosen mucus, making it easier to cough out. Levosalbutamol acts as a bronchodilator by relaxing the muscles in the airways, widening them, and improving breathing. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that reduces the stickiness of mucus, allowing it to be easily removed from the airways.

Yes, Mucorex LS Syrup is generally safe for use in most patients.

If you experience any of these symptoms persistently or severely while taking this medication, inform your doctor.
