Medicinal Benefits:

Zexcy A 400mg/30mg Tablet is used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders like asthma attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Zexcy A 400mg/30mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Doxofylline and Ambroxol. Doxofylline (also known as Doxophylline) belongs to the class of bronchodilators. It works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. It minimizes the lung's airflow obstruction, relieving chest tightness, wheezing, and cough to make breathing easier. While  Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Zexcy A 400mg/30mg Tablet breakdown 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.
