How Ambroter Ls Kid Drops works

Beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol) may reduce bronchodilation; other beta-agonists may increase side effects; diuretics and corticosteroids may increase risk of low potassium with beta-agonists; MAO inhibitors/tricyclic antidepressants may enhance cardiovascular effects of levosalbutamol; digoxin levels may be reduced with beta-agonists. Check with doctor for all medicines.

Expert advice for Ambroter Ls Kid Drops

Drink plenty of water — it thins mucus better than any syrup. Steam inhalation helps congestion and costs nothing. Measure the dose with the cup supplied. Keep a spare reliever and check the counter so you are not caught with an empty one. Follow your written asthma action plan if you have one. Do not stop a preventer because you feel better — that is the medicine working.
