What is Citikof LS Syrup?
Citikof LS Syrup is a combination medication containing Ambroxol, Levosalbutamol/Levalbuterol, and Guaifenesin. It's used to treat cough with mucus. Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic, thinning and loosening mucus for easier coughing. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles to widen the airways. Guaifenesin functions as an expectorant, decreasing mucus stickiness and aiding its removal from the airways.
Is Citikof LS Syrup safe to use?

However, some individuals might experience common side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, allergic reactions, dizziness, headache, rash, urticaria, tremor, palpitations, muscle cramps, and increased heart rate. Seek immediate medical attention if any persistent issues arise during use.
