Description

🧾 What is it used for?

BROXYL LS Drop (15 ml) by Austro Lab is a pediatric respiratory medicine used primarily for relieving wet cough with mucus in infants and young children. It is a combination of three active ingredients:

• Levosalbutamol – A bronchodilator that helps relax airway muscles for easier breathing

• Ambroxol – A mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus in the airways

• Guaiphenesin – An expectorant that helps clear mucus from the chest and throat

Common uses include:

• Productive (wet) cough in infants

• Acute or chronic bronchitis

• Pediatric respiratory tract infections with mucus

• Wheezing or breathing difficulty with phlegm

⚠️ Common Side Effects

Generally well tolerated in infants under supervision, but side effects may include:

• Nausea or mild stomach upset

• Diarrhea or loose motion

• Headache or dizziness (rare in infants)

• Mild allergic reactions like rash or itching

• Increased heart rate or restlessness (due to bronchodilator)

• Runny nose or throat irritation

🚨 Serious Warnings & Precautions

• Overdose Risk: Must be given in exact dose as prescribed by pediatrician—overdose can cause increased heart rate, tremors, or low potassium

• Allergic Reactions: Watch for signs like swelling of face/lips, severe rash, or difficulty breathing—stop use and seek help

• Use in infants: Always under medical guidance and weight-appropriate dosing

• Not for dry cough: This is a wet cough syrup and may worsen dry cough or asthma without mucus

• Existing heart issues: Use cautiously in infants with congenital heart conditions

🔄 Drug & Food Interactions

• Antibiotics or other cold medicines: Should not be combined without pediatric consultation
