Description
Asthalin AX – Bottle of 100 ml Syrup
Asthalin AX Syrup is a combination medication used to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other diseases involving the airways. It is especially useful in providing relief from symptoms like coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest congestion. The syrup contains three active ingredients that target different aspects of respiratory health.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the 100 ml bottle of Asthalin AX Syrup:
Composition of Asthalin AX Syrup (per 5 ml):
- Ambroxol Hydrochloride IP: 30 mg
- Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that helps to break down and thin the mucus in the respiratory tract. This makes it easier to clear the mucus from the lungs, helping to reduce congestion and facilitate better breathing.
- Levosalbutamol Sulphate IP: Equivalent to Levosalbutamol 1 mg
- Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator similar to Salbutamol but with a more selective action on the beta-2 receptors in the lungs. It helps to relax the muscles of the airways, leading to bronchodilation (widening of the airways), which reduces symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
- Guaifenesin IP: 50 mg
- Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps loosen and thin the mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear from the lungs. It aids in relieving chest congestion and improving respiratory function.
- Flavoured Base (q.s.): The syrup base, which contains flavoring agents, helps make the medication more palatable, particularly for children.
Presentation:
- Bottle Size: 100 ml
- Form: Oral syrup, typically dispensed with a measuring spoon or syringe for accurate dosing.
Usage:
- Dosage: The recommended dosage depends on the patient’s age and medical condition. Typically:
- Adults and children over 12 years: The usual dose is 10 ml (containing 60 mg Ambroxol, 2 mg Levosalbutamol, and 100 mg Guaifenesin) taken 2-3 times a day.
- Children (6-12 years): Usually 5 ml (containing 30 mg Ambroxol, 1 mg Levosalbutamol, and 50 mg Guaifenesin) taken 2-3 times a day.
Note: Always follow your doctor’s instructions for the correct dosage based on your condition.
- Administration: The syrup should be taken orally using the provided measuring spoon or syringe. It can be taken with or without food.
Precautions:
- Overuse: Overuse of Asthalin AX Syrup can lead to side effects such as dizziness, tremors, or palpitations (due to Levosalbutamol) and gastrointestinal discomfort (due to Guaifenesin). Do not exceed the prescribed dose.
- Side Effects: Some common side effects may include:
- Drowsiness (due to Guaifenesin)
- Tremors or palpitations (due to Levosalbutamol)
- Nausea or vomiting
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Dry mouth
- Stomach upset (due to Ambroxol and Guaifenesin)
If any of these side effects are severe or persistent, consult your healthcare provider.
- Contraindications: Asthalin AX Syrup should be used with caution in patients with:
- Heart conditions (due to Levosalbutamol)
- High blood pressure
- Liver or kidney disorders

- Drug Interactions: Asthalin AX Syrup may interact with other medications, including:
- Other bronchodilators
- Antihistamines or sedatives (may increase sedative effects)
- Antidepressants or other medications affecting the central nervous system
Always inform your healthcare provider of any other medications you are taking.
Storage:

- Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
Key Notes:
- Asthalin AX Syrup is useful for symptomatic relief in patients with respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD. The combination of a bronchodilator (Levosalbutamol), a mucolytic agent (Ambroxol), and an expectorant (Guaifenesin) helps to improve breathing by opening airways, thinning mucus, and promoting the clearance of mucus from the respiratory tract.
- It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult your doctor for any adjustments, particularly if you have a history of heart conditions or are taking other medications.
Asthalin AX Syrup offers effective multi-symptom relief for patients suffering from respiratory conditions, helping to clear the airways and ease breathing. Always take it as directed by your healthcare provider for the best results.
