Product Description

Ascoril LS Junior Syrup is a combination medication designed to alleviate cough associated with mucus. It works by thinning mucus in the nose, windpipe, and lungs, making it easier to expel.

You can take Ascoril LS Junior Syrup with or without food, following the dosage and duration prescribed by your doctor. The prescribed amount will depend on your specific condition and your response to the treatment. It’s important to continue taking the syrup for as long as your doctor recommends; discontinuing it too soon may lead to a resurgence of symptoms and a worsening of your condition. Make sure to inform your healthcare provider about all other medications you are currently taking, as some may interact with this syrup. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, vomiting, muscle cramps, headaches, skin rashes, and increased heart rate. Most of these effects are temporary and typically resolve over time. However, if you have any concerns about these side effects, contact your doctor immediately. This medication may also cause drowsiness, so avoid driving or engaging in tasks that require mental alertness until you understand how it affects you.

Staying well-hydrated while taking this syrup is beneficial. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Additionally, disclose any history of kidney or liver disease so your doctor can determine the appropriate dosage for you.

Benefits

Ascoril LS Junior Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol and Guaifenesin, which relieves cough with mucus. Ambroxol is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens airways. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Together, they make breathing easier.

HOW TO USE

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Ascoril LS Junior Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
