Uses

Janjaes-LS Paediatric is primarily used to provide relief from respiratory conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Levosalbutamol, a bronchodilator, helps to widen the airways and ease breathing. Ambroxol is an expectorant that helps to thin and loosen mucus, making it easier to cough up. Guaifenesin is also an expectorant that helps in clearing mucus and phlegm from the respiratory tract.

Mechanism of Action

Levosalbutamol, one of the active ingredients in Janjaes-LS Paediatric, works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, allowing them to open up and improve airflow to the lungs. This helps to relieve symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing.

Ambroxol and Guaifenesin, the other active ingredients, work as expectorants. They help to increase the production of respiratory tract fluid and reduce the stickiness of mucus, making it easier to expel through coughing. This helps to relieve congestion and improve breathing.
