Derivent LS Drop is a combination of two bronchodilators (Etofylline and Salbutamol) and an expectorant (Guaifenesin). The bronchodilators work by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widen the airways. Guaifenesin works by decreasing the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways.

  • If at any time your breathing gets worse, please contact your doctor or nurse for advice straightaway.
  • Inform your doctor if you have heart problems, high blood pressure or diabetes.
  • If you are due to have an operation or any dental treatment, tell the person carrying out the treatment which medicines you are taking, as some anesthetics can interfere with Derivent LS Drop.
