Phylair-A 400 Tablet 10's is a respiratory combination medication primarily used to treat cough associated with respiratory disorders like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes). Cough occurs as a reflex action in the throat when mucus or any other foreign irritant is in it.

The Phylair-A 400 Tablet 10's consists of two medicines: Doxofylline (antibiotic) and Ambroxol (dilutes viscous cough). Doxofylline comes into the category of bronchodilators that relax the muscles of the airways and can widen up and breathe easily. On the other hand, Ambroxol is an 'expectorant' (promotes the secretion of sputum/cough) and a 'mucolytic agent' (makes sputum less viscous) to make breathing easier in asthma and COPD patients who have difficulty in breathing.

Take Phylair-A 400 Tablet 10's preferably with food to avoid stomach upset and swallow whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break it. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Phylair-A 400 Tablet 10's based on your medical condition.

Phylair-A 400 Tablet 10's is used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders like asthma attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Phylair-A 400 Tablet 10's 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. Phylair-A 400 Tablet 10's 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.

Asthma: It is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. Due to this, a whistling sound is produced during normal breathing. Symptoms of asthma include coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): It is a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe. The most common conditions that makeup COPD are emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The main cause of COPD is tobacco chewing or smoking for a longer duration, which exposes the lungs to chemical irritants resulting in COPD.
