CompositionAscophylline 100 Mg Capsule 10 is a bronchodilator and mucus-thinning medicine used to manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis in adults. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing acebrophylline, and belongs to a class of medicines called mucolytic bronchodilators.
This medicine works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways and thinning bronchial secretions, which helps to clear mucus, ease breathlessness and reduce wheezing. Swallow the capsule whole, usually after meals, and do not chew or crush it. Continue taking it regularly even if your breathing improves, using the dose and duration your doctor prescribes.
Avoiding cigarette smoke, dust and chemical fumes can help protect your airways while you are on treatment. Drinking enough water helps keep airway secretions soft and easier to clear.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, liver or kidney problems, severe peptic ulcer disease or high blood pressure, and tell them if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Contact your doctor if you notice a fast or irregular heartbeat, severe nausea or marked restlessness.
