How it 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.
