How Ambroter Ls works

Ambroxol is a mucolytic that breaks down and thins thick mucus to make it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that increases airway secretions and helps loosen phlegm. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator (beta-2 agonist) that relaxes airway muscles to relieve wheeze and breathing difficulty.

How to take Ambroter Ls

Oral syrup. Shake well before use and measure with a dosing cup/spoon. Typically taken 2–3 times daily as prescribed; may be taken with or without food (take after food if stomach upset). Maintain adequate hydration for better mucus clearance.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
