About Astha LS Sugar Free Syrup

Astha LS Sugar Free Syrup belongs to the class of medicines called 'expectorants' primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is the 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 the airways. 

Astha LS Sugar Free Syrup is a combination of three drugs, namely Levosalbutamol (bronchodilator), Ambroxol hydrochloride (mucolytic agent), and Guaiphenesin (expectorant). Levosalbutamol works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Ambroxol hydrochloride works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thereby helps to cough out phlegm easily. Guaiphenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from the airways. Together, Astha LS Sugar Free Syrup helps provide relief from cough.

Take Astha LS Sugar Free Syrup as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take Astha LS Sugar Free Syrup based on your medical condition. Some people may experience common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, tremor, stomach upset, and diarrhoea.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Astha LS Sugar Free Syrup . If you are suffering from fits or have a history of fits, please inform your doctor before taking Astha LS Sugar Free Syrup as it may increase the risk of recurrent fits.
