About Rexcof-LS Syrup

Rexcof-LS 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. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any viscous or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) produces mucus or sputum.

Rexcof-LS Syrup is a combination of Levosalbutamol, Ambroxol, and Guaiphenesin. Levosalbutamol works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaiphenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus.

Some people may experience common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, tremors, stomach upset and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Do not take Rexcof-LS Syrup if you are allergic to it. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Rexcof-LS Syrup may cause dizziness and drowsiness, so drive or operate machinery only if you are alert. Rexcof-LS Syrup should be given to children only if prescribed by the doctor.

Uses of Rexcof-LS Syrup

Rexcof-LS Syrup is used in the treatment of cough. The detailed uses of Rexcof-LS Syrup are as follows:

  • Relief from cough: Rexcof-LS Syrup helps to relieve cough by loosening mucus and making it easier to expel phlegm and breathe.
  • Treatment of bronchitis: Rexcof-LS Syrup helps in managing bronchitis symptoms by loosening mucus, facilitating clearer airways, and easier breathing.
  • Managing asthma symptoms: Rexcof-LS Syrup can help asthma patients by reducing coughing and breathing difficulties caused by excess mucus in the lungs.
  • Support during respiratory infections: Rexcof-LS Syrup aids in alleviating coughing and enhances mucus clearance during respiratory infections, thereby supporting recovery.

Key Benefits

  • Rexcof-LS Syrup is a combination of three drugs: Levosalbutamol, Ambroxol, and Guaiphenesin, which are used to treat coughs associated with mucus.
  • Levosalbutamol belongs to the class of bronchodilators that work by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs.
  • Ambroxol belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Therefore, it helps cough out phlegm easily.
  • Guaiphenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reducing the stickiness of mucus and helping to remove it from the airways.

How Rexcof-LS Syrup Works

Rexcof-LS Syrup contains Ambroxol, Guaiphenesin, and Levosalbutamol. Ambroxol: It is a mucolytic that breaks down thick, sticky mucus, making it thinner and easier to cough out. Guaiphenesin: It is an expectorant that increases the amount of fluid in the airways, helping loosen mucus so it can be cleared more easily through coughing. Levosalbutamol: It is a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles around the airways, helping widen the breathing passages and relieve wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Health Queries

I have a severe cough with thick sputum and continuous coughing during the night. What medicine should I take for relief?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

For a wet cough with thick sputum, you should take an expectorant like Guaifenesin. This helps thin and loosen the mucus, making it easier to cough up. Avoid taking strong cough suppressants, as clearing the mucus from your airways is important. For nighttime relief, try elevating your head with extra pillows, using a cool-mist humidifier, and drinking warm fluids before bed. Since your cough is severe and continuous, please consult a doctor to rule out bacterial infections or bronchitis, especially if you develop a fever, chest pain, or shortness of breath.

FAQs

Rexcof-LS Syrup is used to treat cough associated with mucus.
Rexcof-LS Syrup contains Levosalbutamol, Ambroxol and Guaiphenesin. Levosalbutamol relaxes muscles and widens the airways of the lungs. Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby, helps to cough out phlegm easily. Guaiphenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus and helps to remove it from the airways.
Rexcof-LS Syrup should be used with caution in hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid) patients as it may worsen the condition. Inform your doctor if you have hyperthyroidism so that the dose may be adjusted appropriately. However, regular monitoring of thyroid hormone levels is recommended while taking Rexcof-LS Syrup .
Rexcof-LS Syrup may cause drowsiness or dizziness. It is not necessary for everyone taking Rexcof-LS Syrup to experience this side effect. Therefore, avoid driving if you feel drowsy or dizzy after taking Rexcof-LS Syrup .
Rexcof-LS Syrup should be used with caution in diabetic patients if prescribed by a doctor. However, regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended while taking Rexcof-LS Syrup as it may increase blood sugar levels.

No, Rexcof-LS Syrup is formulated specifically for a productive cough (a cough that produces mucus). It helps thin and clear out phlegm. If you have a dry, tickly cough without any mucus, talk to your doctor or pharmacist for a more appropriate treatment.
The oral levosalbutamol component may begin to relax the airways after some time, although the exact onset varies between individuals and is generally slower than inhaled bronchodilators. The mucus-loosening effects of ambroxol and guaiphenesin develop gradually with regular use, so complete relief from chest congestion may take longer. Talk to your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after a few days of treatment.
You should use this medicine with caution if you have high blood pressure. Some of the active components can slightly increase your heart rate and blood pressure. Talk to your doctor before taking this medicine to ensure it is safe for you.
