Magnakof-LS Syrup 100 ml consists of three medicines, namely: Ambroxol, Guaifenesin and Salbutamol. Ambroxol is an 'expectorant' and a 'mucolytic agent', It promotes the secretion of sputum/cough and is a 'mucolytic agent' that makes sputum less viscous to make the breathing easier. Being an expectorant, Guaifenesin reduces the thickness or viscosity of bronchial secretions (phlegm) and increases mucus flow making it easier to cough. Salbutamol belongs to the class of 'bronchodilators'. It widens and relaxes the airways (bronchi) of the lungs.
