Acetylcysteine + Ambroxol Tablets

Acetylcysteine + Ambroxol Tablets: Acetylcysteine + Ambroxol, members of the class of drugs known as ‘mucolytic agents’, are used mainly to prevent and treat symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as coughing, shortness of breath, and wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe). COPD is a set of lung diseases that primarily includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Acetylcysteine + Ambroxol is formulated from two mucolytic agents: Acetylcysteine and Ambroxol. Therefore, using Acetylcysteine + Ambroxol, other procedures allow thinning and loosening of phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nasal passage. Ambroxol is also called an ‘expectorant’ that helps to increase sputum/cough secretion by the air passages. In this way, Acetelycysteine + Ambroxol thins the sputum and makes it easier to breathe.

Medical Benefits:

• Mucolytic agents Acetylcysteine and Ambroxol help in thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose so patients can easily cough it out and relieve respiratory problems such as coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness.
• Ambroxol also encourages sputum secretion by passages from the airways through its action as an expectorant. 
• Acetylcysteine is used as an antidote in paracetamol overdose and replenishes glutathione, the body’s own chemical that detoxifies.

Uses:

• Acetylcysteine + Ambroxol primarily serves to relieve thick mucus from the lungs and airways. Two active ingredients in the drug work hand-in-hand to dissolve phlegm, thereby easing respiration. 
• Acetylcysteine + Ambroxol contains Acetylcysteine, which reduces the viscosity of mucus, while Ambroxol facilitates its clearance and enhances lung function. Together, they help clear the airways and suppress coughing.
