Acebrophylline 100 mg Capsules

Acebrophylline 100 mg Capsules – Acebrophylline prevents and treats symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a chronic (long-standing) respiratory condition that involves narrowed, swollen, and mucus-producing airways and makes it hard to breathe. COPD is a combination of lung conditions, including emphysema (breathlessness) and chronic bronchitis (inflamed lining of bronchial tubes).

Acebrophylline has Acebrophylline as an active ingredient, which relaxes muscles and dilates the airways of the lungs. Moreover, Acebrophylline is also a mucolytic (cough/sputum thinner) agent and thins and loosens phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thus, it facilitates easy coughing out and facilitates easier breathing by opening airways.
