For a simple dry cough and cold, Levosalbutamol or Terbutaline is usually not needed unless you have wheezing, asthma, or breathing difficulty. These medicines are bronchodilators meant for asthma-type cough, not routine viral colds. Since you already have Salbetol-LS syrup, it is mainly useful for a wet/productive cough with chest congestion and not for a dry cough. Consult your doctor for dry cough medication.
