How Tuspel Ls 1 Syrup works

Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens thick mucus, helping its clearance from airways. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that increases hydration of secretions and helps expel phlegm. Levosalbutamol is a selective beta-2 bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles to relieve bronchospasm and wheeze.
