How does ALASPAN AG SYRUP work?

ALASPAN AG SYRUP is a combination medicine containing Loratadine, Ambroxol, and Guaifenesin. Loratadine is an antihistamine that works by blocking histamine, a natural substance in the body responsible for allergic reactions like itching, sneezing, and a runny nose. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic agent, thinning and loosening mucus in the respiratory tract to make it easier to cough up. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that increases the volume of fluid in the airways and reduces the stickiness of mucus, further assisting in its removal. This combined action helps clear airways and provides relief from a wide range of symptoms.

Generally, for children aged 2-5 years, a typical dose is 2.5 ml (half teaspoonful) twice a day. For children aged 6-12 years and adolescents aged 13-18 years, a common dosage for conditions like bronchitis is 5 ml twice daily.

Caution is advised regarding the use of ALASPAN AG SYRUP during pregnancy, and it is recommended that pregnant women consult their doctor before taking this medicine, as it may be unsafe or cause severe side effects.

Certain antidepressants, such as SSRIs (e.g., fluoxetine), when taken with ALASPAN AG SYRUP, may lead to dizziness or confusion. Antifungal medications like ketoconazole and antibiotics like erythromycin may increase the concentration of loratadine in the body, potentially leading to increased side effects.
