How it works
Guaifenesin works by decreasing the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways.
Levosalbutamol / Levalbuterol is a bronchodilator. It relaxes the muscles in the airways & respiratory tract to make the condition better. This helps in making the breathing easier.
Ambroxol is a mucolytic drug. It thins and loosens mucus (phlegm) in the nose, windpipe and lungs making it easier to cough out.
