About Ascoril LS Expectorant 100 ml
Ascoril LS Expectorant 100 ml belongs to the class of medicines called ‘expectorants‘ primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn’t produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.
Ascoril LS Expectorant 100 ml is a combination of three drugs, namely Levosalbutamol (bronchodilator), Ambroxol (mucolytic agent), and Guaifenesin (expectorant). Levosalbutamol belongs to the class of bronchodilators that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Ambroxol belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thereby, helps to cough out easily. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from airways.
Take Ascoril LS Expectorant 100 ml with or without food as advised by your doctor with the help of a measuring cup. Your doctor will recommend you how often you take Ascoril LS Expectorant 100 ml based on your medical condition.

However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Ascoril LS Expectorant 100 ml or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Ascoril LS Expectorant 100 ml. If you are suffering from fits or have a history of fits, please inform your doctor before taking Ascoril LS Expectorant 100 ml as it may increase the risk of recurrent fits. If you have diabetes, regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended while taking Ascoril LS Expectorant 100 ml. Drink plenty of fluids while taking Ascoril LS Expectorant 100 ml to loosen mucus. If you have diabetes, fits, high blood pressure, overactive thyroid, stomach ulcers, phenylketonuria (a birth defect that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), kidney, liver or heart problems, inform your doctor before taking Ascoril LS Expectorant 100 ml.
