Ascoril LS Junior Syrup

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Ascoril LS Junior Syrup is a specially formulated medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with respiratory tract infections in children. It is manufactured by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals and is widely recognized for its efficacy and child-friendly formulation. Ascoril LS Junior contains a combination of Levosalbutamol, Ambroxol, and Guaifenesin as its active ingredients, which work synergistically to provide relief from various respiratory symptoms.

Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that helps to relax the muscles in the airways leading to the lungs, making it easier for children to breathe. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic, breaking down the mucus in the airways, thereby clearing congestion and facilitating a more productive cough. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps to loosen and expel mucus from the airways. The syrup is typically pleasant tasting, making it easier for children to consume.

USES of Ascoril LS Junior Syrup

Ascoril LS Junior Syrup is primarily used to treat and manage symptoms associated with respiratory tract infections and conditions in children, such as:

• Bronchitis: Inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs.
• Asthma: A condition in which your airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing.
• Common Cold and Flu: Helps in managing the symptoms like cough and congestion which accompany these viral infections.
• Other Respiratory Disorders: Useful in conditions where there is excessive mucus production or blockage in the respiratory tract.

The syrup is recommended for use in children for whom the mentioned conditions have been diagnosed by a healthcare professional and is generally considered safe for regular use under medical advice.
