Broncheal LS Syrup

Broncheal LS Syrup Patient Guide

Overview

Broncheal LS Syrup is a medication designed to help alleviate respiratory symptoms associated with general health conditions. This patient guide is intended to provide you with essential information about the syrup, its uses, and how to use it safely and effectively.

Uses

Broncheal LS Syrup is used to treat respiratory symptoms such as cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath. It contains two active ingredients:

• Levosalbutamol (1mg), a bronchodilator that helps relax airway muscles and improve breathing
• Ambroxol (30mg), an expectorant that helps loosen and clear mucus from the airways

Mechanism of Action

When you inhale Levosalbutamol, it binds to beta-2 receptors in the airways, causing the muscles to relax and the airways to dilate. This makes it easier to breathe and helps alleviate symptoms of bronchospasm. Ambroxol, on the other hand, works by increasing the production of surfactant in the lungs, which helps to thin and clear mucus, making it easier to cough up.

To use Broncheal LS Syrup, follow these instructions:

1. Shake the bottle well before each use.
2. Use the measuring cup provided to measure the correct dose.
3. Take 5-10 mL (1-2 teaspoons) 3-4 times a day as needed.
