Here is how these medicines work individually: Levosalbutamol – Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that performs its functions by expanding airways and acts by calming the muscles in the airways.                                                      Guaiphenesin – The expectorant Guaiphenesin reduces the stickiness of mucus and aids in its evacuation from the respiratory tract. Ambroxol – Ambroxol is a mucolytic that works by thinning and loosening mucus or phlegm, facilitating coughing up the mucus more easily.
