About Ijeska-N Tablet

Ijeska-N Tablet belongs to the class of drugs called ‘mucolytic agents’ (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing (whistling sound while breathing). COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation in the lining of bronchial tubes).

Ijeska-N Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Acebrophylline (mucolytic and bronchodilator) and N-Acetylcysteine (mucolytic agent/sputum thinner). Acebrophylline works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. N-Acetylcysteine works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Together, Ijeska-N Tablet helps to cough out easily and makes breathing easier by opening airways.

Swallow Ijeska-N Tablet as a whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Ijeska-N Tablet based on your medical condition. Some people may experience diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, runny nose, dizziness, heartburn, stomach pain, skin rash, and drowsiness. Most of these side effects of Ijeska-N Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Ijeska-N Tablet or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Ijeska-N Tablet is not recommended for use during pregnancy. If you are breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before taking Ijeska-N Tablet . If you have hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), irregular heartbeats, viral infections, heart failure, asthma, high blood pressure, fits, gastric or duodenal ulcers, heart diseases, kidney or liver insufficiency, inform your doctor before taking Ijeska-N Tablet . Ijeska-N Tablet is not recommended for children below 14 years of age.

Medicinal Benefits

Ijeska-N Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Acebrophylline and N-Acetylcysteine. Acebrophylline belongs to the class of bronchodilators with additional mucolytic properties and works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. N-Acetylcysteine is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Ijeska-N Tablet breaks down the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres that make the mucus (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous, thereby helps remove sputum efficiently by coughing. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained. Together, Ijeska-N Tablet  helps to cough out easily and makes breathing easier by opening airways.

Storage

Keep Ijeska-N Tablet out of the sight and reach of children.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat foods rich in potassium such as bananas, asparagus, oranges, potatoes, avocados, dark leafy greens and beetroots as potassium is important for lung function and a potassium deficiency may cause breathing problems.
  • Drink plenty of fluids every day to thin mucus which makes it easier to cough out.
  • Maintain a diet that includes complex carbohydrates such as lentils, beans, barley, oats, quinoa, bran, peas and potatoes with skin.
  • Limit or avoid the intake of caffeinated drinks such as tea, coffee, soda, and energy drinks like red bull.
  • Eat protein-rich foods such as meat, fish (particularly salmon, sardines and mackerel), eggs and poultry.
  • Exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system. Learning breathing exercises will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.
  • Quit smoking as it may irritate the lungs and worsen breathing problems.
