Description

Levolin Plus Jr Syrup – 100 ml Bottle

Composition (Per 5 ml):

• Levosalbutamol Sulphate IP (equivalent to Levosalbutamol) – 0.50 mg
  (Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that helps open up the airways in the lungs, making it easier to breathe. It is commonly used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).)
• Ambroxol Hydrochloride IP – 15 mg
  (Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that helps to break down and thin mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up and clear out excess mucus.)
• Guaiphenesin IP – 50 mg
  (Guaiphenesin is an expectorant that helps loosen and thin mucus in the airways, aiding in the clearance of mucus from the lungs and relieving congestion.)
• Flavoured Syrupy Base – Quantity Sufficient (q.s.)
  (Provides the syrup with flavor and ensures the appropriate consistency for easy administration.)
