Korf LA Syrup is used to treat cough associated with mucus. It contains two medicines, Levosalbutamol and Ambroxol. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that works by widening and relaxing the airways (bronchi) of the lungs. Ambroxol is an expectorant (relieves congestion) and mucolytic agent (dilutes viscous cough/mucus) that loosens the mucus to make breathing easier. It treats coughs associated with respiratory disorders like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This medication effectively treats COPD like emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).

About Korf LA Syrup

Korf LA Syrup 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. There are two types of coughs: dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) produces mucous or sputum.

Korf LA Syrup contains Ambroxol hydrochloride and Levosalbutamol. Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles and widens airways in the lungs. Ambroxol is a mucolytic drug (cough/sputum thinner) that thins and loosens phlegm (mucus) in the nose, windpipe, and lungs. As a result, it allows for easier coughing.

Use Korf LA Syrup as prescribed. Your paediatrician will suggest a suitable dosage regime based on your child's condition. Korf LA Syrup may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, restlessness, tremors, headache, muscle cramps, dizziness, sleepiness, and increased heart rate. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or bother your child, please seek medical help.

If your child is allergic to any food or medicine, inform your doctor. Also, inform your child's entire medical history, including ongoing medications, to avoid unwanted effects and possible interactions. Do not give more than the prescribed dose.
