XPECT LS STRAWBERRY RASPBERRY FLV. SUGAR FREE Syrup

XPECT LS Strawberry Raspberry Flavor Sugar Free Syrup, manufactured by Alkem Laboratories Ltd., is a combination medicine formulated to relieve productive cough with mucus and associated respiratory discomfort.

• Composition: Each 5ml of the syrup typically contains Levosalbutamol (1 mg), Ambroxol (30 mg), and Guaifenesin (50 mg).

  • Levosalbutamol: A bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways, widening them for easier breathing.
  • Ambroxol: A mucolytic agent that thins and loosens thick mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out.
  • Guaifenesin: An expectorant that increases the volume of fluid in the airways and reduces mucus stickiness, aiding in its removal.

• Uses: This syrup is prescribed for the treatment of cough with mucus, chest congestion, and breathing difficulty caused by respiratory conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It also helps alleviate symptoms of respiratory tract allergies like runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes.

• Dosage and Administration: Take XPECT LS Syrup orally as prescribed by your doctor. Shake the bottle well before each use and use a measuring cup or spoon for accurate dosing. It can be taken with or without food. The dosage depends on the severity of the condition and patient response.

• Side Effects: Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, indigestion, diarrhea, headache, dry mouth or throat, dizziness, and drowsiness. Serious side effects can include a fast or irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, worsening breathing problems, or seizures; seek immediate medical attention if these occur.

• Precautions:

  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use with caution during pregnancy; consult a doctor. It should be taken with care if breastfeeding.
