About Mucofast-Plus Tablet

Mucofast-Plus Tablet belongs to the class of drugs called 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner), primarily used to prevent and treat symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), such as coughing, wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), and shortness of breath. COPD is a group of lung diseases that mainly include emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).

Mucofast-Plus Tablet consists of two mucolytic agents: Acetylcysteine and Ambroxol. Mucofast-Plus Tablet works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nasal passage.
