Description

Palmax LS Syrup – Levosalbutamol, Guaiphenesin & Ambroxol HCl Syrup

Palmax LS Syrup is a combination respiratory formulation that relieves cough, loosens mucus, and eases breathing in conditions like bronchitis, asthma, and other respiratory tract disorders. It contains a bronchodilator, expectorant, and mucolytic for comprehensive respiratory relief.

Composition (per 5 mL):

• Levosalbutamol Sulphate IP – 1 mg (equivalent to Levosalbutamol 1 mg) – bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles for improved airflow

• Guaiphenesin IP – 50 mg – expectorant that loosens mucus, making it easier to cough up

• Ambroxol Hydrochloride IP – 30 mg – mucolytic that breaks down thick mucus for easier clearance

• Flavoured syrup base – q.s.

Uses (Indications):

• Productive cough with thick mucus

• Bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Mechanism of Action:

• Levosalbutamol stimulates β₂-adrenergic receptors in bronchial muscles, causing relaxation and bronchodilation.

• Guaiphenesin reduces viscosity of mucus and facilitates expectoration.

• Ambroxol enhances mucus clearance by breaking down mucus fibers and increasing surfactant production.
