How Ambroxol+Guaiphenesin+Levosalbutamol works

Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that promotes mucus clearance by decreasing its viscosity and increasing its volume. It facilitates expectoration and eases productive coughing. Guaiphenesin is an expectorant that works by reducing the viscosity of lung secretions and aiding in spitting out the mucous. Levosalbutamol is a beta agonist that activates certain receptors called beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the lungs, which facilitate smooth muscle relaxation and make the airways open for easy breathing. Together, they help the patients with congestion breathe freely and deeply.
