Acebrophylline

ANTIASTHMATIC

Uses of Acebrophylline

  • Acebrophylline is used to prevent symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and chronic cough. It works by relaxing the airways, reducing inflammation, and improving mucus clearance, making breathing easier.

Side effects of Acebrophylline

The side effects of Acebrophylline are:

  • Nausea 
  • Headache 
  • Vomiting 
  • Upset stomach 
  • Restlessness

How Acebrophylline works

  • Acebrophylline is a mucolytic and bronchodilator. It works by reducing inflammation in the airways, improving mucus clearance, and enhancing bronchodilation. Acebrophylline contains theophylline-7 acetate and ambroxol, which help make the mucus more fluid and clear the airways, thus improving breathing. This gives Acebrophylline an added advantage over theophylline. It can also reduce the need for other asthma medications like salbutamol.
