About Instaryl LS Junior Expectorant

Instaryl LS Junior Expectorant is used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any viscous or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) produces mucus or sputum.

Instaryl LS Junior Expectorant is a combination of Levosalbutamol, Ambroxol, and Guaiphenesin. Levosalbutamol relaxes muscles and widens the airways of the lungs. Ambroxol thins and loosens phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaiphenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways and reduces the stickiness of mucus.

Take Instaryl LS Junior Expectorant as advised by your doctor. Instaryl LS Junior Expectorant may cause common side effects, including nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, stomach upset, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, consult your doctor.

Do not take Instaryl LS Junior Expectorant if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
