Is Levolin Syrup And Acebrophylline Syrup For Cough Safe To Give For Kids?
My 3.5 yr old daughter was prescribed levolin syrup and acebrophylline syrup for cough. The cough was accompanied with fast breathing - the doctor suggested it to be seasonal bronchitis. Are these medicines (given at least levolin contains steroids) safe for kids? Any side effects / chances of addiction?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Regarding your doubt, levolin or avebrophylline don't contain steroids. But acebrophylline safety standards are not well established in younger age group. Levolin is safe. Need not worry. No chance of addiction for levolin even if used as a metered dose inhaler, actually it is the best.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
