How it works

This combination medication addresses symptoms of respiratory illness with a three-pronged approach: 

• Ambroxol: A mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough up.

• Levosalbutamol: A bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles of the airways, widening them to help improve breathing.

• Guaifenesin: An expectorant that increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reducing the stickiness of mucus and helping to remove it from the airways.
