What is Reswas LS Syrup Sugar Free used for?

How does Reswas LS Syrup Sugar Free work?

Reswas LS Syrup Sugar Free is a combination medicine containing three active ingredients: Levosalbutamol, Ambroxol, and Guaifenesin. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic, thinning and loosening the mucus (phlegm). Guaifenesin is an expectorant that increases the volume of fluid in the airways and reduces mucus stickiness, making it easier to cough out. Together, these ingredients work to clear mucus, widen airways, and relieve cough.
