About Cofles LS Junior Syrup
Cofles LS Junior Syrup is a paediatric cough and cold formulation containing Ambroxol 15 mg, Levosalbutamol 0.5 mg, and Guaifenesin 50 mg per dose. It is specially formulated with child-appropriate lower strengths of its active ingredients to deliver effective, safe relief from productive cough and chest congestion in children.
Recommended by paediatricians for wet, chesty coughs in children where mucus needs to be thinned and airways relaxed, Cofles LS Junior Syrup combines three complementary medicines into one convenient spoonful.
Uses of Cofles LS Junior Syrup
This medicine is commonly used for:
- Relieving wet, productive cough in children
- Loosening and clearing chest congestion in kids with bronchitis
- Opening narrowed airways in children with asthma or allergic cough
- Easing breathing difficulty caused by mucus and mild bronchospasm
- Managing cough during respiratory infections in children
Indications
Cofles LS Junior Syrup is indicated for the paediatric management of productive cough associated with acute bronchitis, bronchial asthma, recurrent wheezy bronchitis, and upper respiratory tract infections with lower airway involvement. Ambroxol provides mucociliary stimulation and mucolytic activity; Guaifenesin acts as an expectorant to increase secretion fluidity; Levosalbutamol provides selective beta-2 mediated bronchodilation appropriate for paediatric dosing.
How Cofles LS Junior Syrup Works
Cofles LS Junior Syrup works in three ways to help your child breathe easier: Ambroxol breaks down the thick mucus stuck in the chest and airways, Guaifenesin helps bring that mucus up so it can be coughed out, and Levosalbutamol relaxes the tight muscles around the airways so they open up. Together they clear the chest and ease the cough, helping children feel more comfortable and breathe better.
Mechanism of Action
Ambroxol depolymerises mucopolysaccharide strands reducing sputum viscosity and stimulates surfactant secretion from type II alveolar cells, enhancing mucociliary clearance. Guaifenesin increases the hydration of mucus via stimulation of respiratory gland secretion, reducing mucus adhesion to airway walls. Levosalbutamol (R-salbutamol) selectively activates beta-2 adrenergic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle, elevating intracellular cAMP through adenylate cyclase activation, causing smooth muscle relaxation and bronchodilation with minimal cardiac stimulation relative to the racemic form.
Key Benefits
- Paediatric-strength formulation designed for safe use in children
- Triple action clears mucus and opens airways in one dose
- Levosalbutamol causes fewer tremors and heart rate increases than standard salbutamol
- Convenient syrup format — easy to administer to young children
Did You Know?
Ambroxol, one of the key ingredients in Cofles LS Junior, does more than just thin mucus — it also boosts the natural surfactant lining of the lungs. Surfactant is the same substance that keeps the tiny air sacs (alveoli) open and working properly, which is why Ambroxol also supports better lung function during respiratory illness.
When & How to Take
Cofles LS Junior Syrup should be given only as directed by your child's doctor. It is usually given after meals. Do not exceed the prescribed dose or frequency.
Always follow the dosage and schedule advised by your doctor — this is general guidance only.
Possible Side Effects
Mild tremor, restlessness, or mild nausea may occasionally occur. A slight increase in heart rate is possible with the Levosalbutamol component. These effects are usually mild and short-lived. Tell your doctor if any side effect is severe or persistent.
Precautions & Safety
- Always use the measuring device provided to give the exact prescribed dose
- Inform your child's doctor about any heart condition or thyroid issue
- Do not combine with other bronchodilator syrups without medical advice
- If the child develops rash, swelling, or breathing worsens, seek medical help immediately
- Keep out of reach of children
Myths vs Facts
Giving an adult cough syrup in a smaller quantity is the same as giving a paediatric version.
Adult cough syrups contain higher concentrations not designed for children's weight and metabolism. Cofles LS Junior is specifically formulated with child-appropriate doses — adult syrups can overdose a child even in smaller amounts.
Cough syrups with bronchodilators make children hyperactive.
Levosalbutamol at the appropriate paediatric dose is generally well tolerated. Any mild restlessness is usually transient and much less than with older-generation bronchodilators.
