How Wintus Ls Syrup works

Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens thick mucus to aid expectoration. Guaiphenesin is an expectorant that increases airway secretions and helps clear phlegm. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator (beta2-agonist) that relaxes airway muscles to relieve wheezing and improve airflow.

How to take Wintus Ls Syrup

Oral syrup; shake well before use. Take the prescribed dose using a measuring cup/spoon, preferably after food; maintain adequate fluid intake. Dose and duration as advised by the doctor (commonly 2–3 times daily depending on age).

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

Missed dose and overdose

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 vomiting, severe drowsiness, a racing heart and, with codeine, dangerously slow breathing. It can cause a racing heart, marked tremor, headache and a fall in blood potassium. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Expert advice for Wintus Ls Syrup

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.
