Product introduction
Respicure LS Oral Drops is a paediatric cough formulation that combines a mucolytic, an expectorant and a mild bronchodilator in a concentrated drop form meant to be measured in small ml doses. It is generally used in infants and young children who have a productive cough with thick mucus that is difficult to clear. Being an oral drop rather than a spoon-measured syrup, it allows more precise low-volume dosing for smaller body weights. It is available only against a doctor's prescription.
Storage: Store below 30°C

Benefits of Respicure LS Oral Drops
The combination helps thin out sticky mucus in the airways so that it can be coughed up or cleared more easily, while also gently relaxing the small airway muscles to ease breathing. This can bring relief from chest tightness and a productive cough associated with common respiratory infections in children.

How to use Respicure LS Oral Drops
Give this medicine to the child strictly in the dose and duration advised by the paediatrician, using the dropper provided with the bottle for accurate measurement. It can be given with or without food, and the bottle should be shaken well before each use if instructed on the label.
How Respicure LS Oral Drops works
Ambroxol and guaifenesin work together as a mucolytic-expectorant pair, breaking down thick mucus and increasing fluid in the respiratory tract so it moves more easily out of the airways. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles lining the airways, widening them slightly to make breathing more comfortable during a chesty cough.
