Verified Ingredients and Effects

Uses:

Cough.

Medicinal Benefits:

Alastin-AM Tablet 10's is a combination drug containing 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat cough. It contains Ambroxol and Loratadine. Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. It also breaks down the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres that make the mucous (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous, removing sputum efficiently by coughing. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained. Loratadine acts by blocking histamine's action (chemicals causing allergic symptoms) and reducing the allergic reaction. It provides quick relief from allergic symptoms like sneezing, running nose, or throat irritation.
