Frequently asked questions
What is Sudex LS Syrup?
Sudex LS Syrup is a combination medication containing Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol/Levalbuterol, and Guaifenesin. It's used to treat coughs with phlegm (mucus). Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic, thinning the mucus for easier cough-out. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles, expanding the airways. Guaifenesin works as an expectorant, decreasing the stickiness of mucus and facilitating its removal from the airways.

Sudex LS Syrup is generally considered safe for most patients.
