About A-Phyl Capsule 10's

A-Phyl Capsule 10's 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).

A-Phyl Capsule 10's contains Acebrophylline that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Additionally, A-Phyl Capsule 10's 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.

Regular monitoring of potassium levels is recommended while taking A-Phyl Capsule 10's as it may cause low potassium levels in the blood.
