CompositionAb Phylline Capsule is used in adults to manage long-term breathing conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis, where the airways narrow and fill with thick mucus. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing acebrophylline , and belongs to a class of medicines called bronchodilators with mucus-thinning action.
This medicine works by relaxing the muscles around the airways so they open more easily, and by thinning sticky mucus so it can be coughed up. Take the capsule after meals as directed by your doctor, swallowed whole with water, and keep taking it regularly even when your breathing improves.
It is meant for regular, long-term control and does not give quick relief during a sudden asthma attack, so keep your usual reliever inhaler with you. Avoiding smoking, dust and chemical fumes, and drinking enough water to keep mucus loose, can support this treatment.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, an irregular heartbeat, a recent heart attack, high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid, a stomach ulcer, or liver or kidney problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Contact your doctor if you notice a fast or irregular heartbeat or marked restlessness.
