How Kofirax Products work
Ambroxol + Levosalbutamol + Guaifenesin is a combination of three medicines: Ambroxol + Levosalbutamol + Guaifenesin1, Ambroxol + Levosalbutamol + Guaifenesin2 and Ambroxol + Levosalbutamol + Guaifenesin3, 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.
