About Acb 200mg Tablet SR
Acb 200mg Tablet SR belongs to the class of drugs called bronchodilators primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty in breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes).
Acb 200mg Tablet SR contains Acebrophylline that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Additionally, Acb 200mg Tablet SR also acts as mucolytic (cough/sputum thinner) agent and helps in thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby, it helps to cough out easily and makes breathing easier by opening airways.
