It contains ambroxol, a mucolytic that thins mucus; guaifenesin, an expectorant that reduces mucus stickiness; and levosalbutamol, a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles.

Alkof LS Plus Cough Syrup is a combination of three medicines: ambroxol, levosalbutamol, and guaifenesin. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles around the airways, helping open them and making breathing easier. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps clear mucus from the airways by making it thinner and less sticky, promoting its removal through coughing. Together, these medicines help reduce mucus buildup, ease breathing, and relieve cough associated with mucus.
