Asthalin Plus Expectorant Strawberry and Raspberry – Bottle of 100ml Syrup

Asthalin Plus Expectorant (Strawberry and Raspberry Flavor) is a combination medication designed to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and other conditions associated with excessive mucus production, wheezing, and difficulty breathing.

This formulation combines Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol, and Guaifenesin, which work together to help relieve symptoms like coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and congestion.

Composition of Asthalin Plus Expectorant Syrup (per 5 ml):

• Ambroxol Hydrochloride: 15 mg
  • Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that helps to break down thick mucus in the airways, making it easier to expel by coughing. It also helps reduce chest congestion and improves overall lung function by thinning the mucus in the respiratory tract.
• Levosalbutamol Sulphate: 0.5 mg
  • Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator, which works by relaxing the muscles of the airways and widening them. This action improves airflow and reduces symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and tightness in the chest. Levosalbutamol is a more selective version of Salbutamol, leading to fewer side effects on the heart.
• Guaifenesin: 50 mg
  • Guaifenesin is an expectorant, which helps to loosen and thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear from the lungs. It is commonly used to relieve chest congestion and improve respiratory function by making the mucus less sticky.
