About Scocuff L Syrup

AMBROXOL+GUAIFENESIN+LEVOSALBUTAMOL 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.

Medicinal Benefits of Scocuff L Syrup

AMBROXOL+GUAIFENESIN+LEVOSALBUTAMOL is a combination of three drugs, namely: Levosalbutamol, Ambroxol and Guaifenesin used to treat cough associated with mucus. 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.
