FAQs

Levotus Syrup contains Levosalbutamol, Ambroxol hydrochloride, and Guaiphenesin. Levosalbutamol relaxes muscles and widens the airways of the lungs. Ambroxol hydrochloride works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thus, it helps to cough out easily. Guaiphenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from the airways.

Levotus Syrup should be used with caution in children with hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) as it may worsen the condition. Inform the doctor if your child has hyperthyroidism before using Levotus Syrup so that the dose may be adjusted appropriately. However, regular monitoring of thyroid hormone levels is recommended while using Levotus Syrup for your child.

About Levotus Syrup

Levotus Syrup belongs to the class of medicines called expectorants used to provide relief from cough associated with bronchitis, bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema (damage of air sacs in the lungs) and other bronchopulmonary disorders where bronchospasm, mucous plugging and problems of expectoration co-exist. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection.

Levotus Syrup is a combination of three drugs, namely Levosalbutamol (bronchodilator), Ambroxol hydrochloride (mucolytic agent), and Guaiphenesin (expectorant). Levosalbutamol works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Ambroxol hydrochloride works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thereby helping to cough out phlegm easily. Guaiphenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from the airways. Together, Levotus Syrup helps provide relief from cough.

Levotus Syrup is for paediatric use. Your doctor will recommend how often your child needs to take Levotus Syrup based on his/her medical condition. Levotus Syrup may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, indigestion, diarrhoea, headache, dry mouth or throat. Most of these side effects of Levotus Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If your child is allergic to Levotus Syrup or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If your child is suffering from fits or has a history of fits, please inform the doctor before using Levotus Syrup as it may increase the risk of recurrent fits. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition and medications to rule out any interactions/side effects.
