Ascoril LS Junior Syrup Dosage
I cannot provide specific dosing recommendations for Ascoril LS Junior syrup because the evidence provided does not contain any drug label information, official prescribing guidelines, or clinical data specifically addressing the dosage of this formulation.
Critical Information Gap
The available evidence includes guidelines on diabetes medications, influenza antivirals, pediatric emergency drugs, and cardiovascular agents, but none of these sources address Ascoril LS Junior (levosalbutamol combination) dosing 1.
While one study mentions "ascoril expectorant" used at "standard dose" in patients over 3 years of age, it does not specify what that standard dose is, nor does it address the "LS Junior" formulation specifically 2.
Another study references ascoril in COPD patients but provides no pediatric dosing information 3.
What You Need to Obtain
You must consult the actual product label or package insert for Ascoril LS Junior, which should specify:
- Age-specific dosing (typically weight-based or age-based for pediatric formulations)
- Volume per dose (mL of syrup)
- Dosing frequency (times per day)
- Maximum daily dose
- Contraindications and precautions
Clinical Context
Levosalbutamol-containing products are bronchodilators typically used for respiratory conditions with bronchospasm 2.
Pediatric medication dosing requires precise weight-based or age-based calculations that must come from the manufacturer's approved labeling, not extrapolation from adult studies 4.
Contact the manufacturer (Glenmark Pharmaceuticals) or refer to the official product monograph/package insert for accurate dosing information before prescribing.
