How Welminic Ls Drops works

Welminic LS Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol/Levalbuterol and Guaifenesin, which relieves cough with mucus. Ambroxol is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens airways. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.

How to take Welminic Ls Drops

Use only as directed by a doctor/pediatrician. Measure the prescribed dose with the supplied dropper; do not exceed the recommended dose. Can be given with or without food unless advised otherwise.

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