How Tuspel Ls Syrup works

Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator (beta-2 agonist) that relaxes airway muscles and eases wheeze. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus. Guaiphenesin is an expectorant that helps expel mucus by increasing respiratory tract fluid.

How to take Tuspel Ls Syrup

Oral syrup; shake well before use and measure with a cup/spoon. Take as prescribed by the doctor; may be taken with or without food (preferably after food if stomach upset occurs). Maintain adequate hydration; do not exceed the recommended dose.

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause a racing heart, marked tremor, headache and a fall in blood potassium. It can cause vomiting, severe drowsiness, a racing heart and, with codeine, dangerously slow breathing.

Expert advice for Tuspel Ls Syrup

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. 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.
