Date of Approval

Acebrophylline contains an active component as Acebrophylline. It is a medication used to manage respiratory conditions such as bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It can alleviate symptoms associated with respiratory conditions, such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Improving bronchodilation and reducing airway inflammation can help individuals experience fewer and less severe symptoms. This medication has improved lung function parameters such as forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). These improvements indicate better respiratory function and can contribute to overall lung health.

Mechanism of Action of Acebrophylline

Acebrophylline contains theophylline and ambroxol. Theophylline is a bronchodilator that helps relax the muscles in the airways, allowing easier breathing. It also has anti-inflammatory effects on the respiratory system. On the other hand, Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that helps break down and thin the mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up. By combining these two components, this medication aims to provide both bronchodilation and mucus clearance, thus improving symptoms associated with respiratory conditions.
