Ascoril LS Syrup

Ascoril LS Syrup is a combination of three active medicines: Levosalbutamol (a bronchodilator), Ambroxol (a mucolytic), and Guaiphenesin (an expectorant). It works by relaxing the airway muscles to make breathing easier, thinning and loosening mucus in the airways to make coughing it out easier, and reducing chest congestion.
