Acebrophyllin (100mg) .. . . . ...

Respiratory disorders such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are increasingly prevalent in India due to factors like air pollution, smoking, occupational exposure, recurrent respiratory infections, and changing lifestyles. These conditions are often characterized by airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, excessive mucus production, and breathing difficulty, which significantly affect daily activities and overall quality of life.

Effective management of chronic respiratory diseases requires medicines that not only open the airways but also reduce mucus thickness and inflammation. S PHYLLIN 100, containing Acebrophyllin 100 mg, is a well-established medication used in the treatment of obstructive airway diseases. Acebrophyllin is a xanthine derivative with bronchodilator and mucolytic properties, making it particularly useful for patients suffering from productive cough and breathing difficulty.

Unlike conventional bronchodilators alone, Acebrophyllin works on multiple pathways—relaxing bronchial smooth muscles, improving mucus clearance, and reducing airway inflammation. This multi-action profile makes S PHYLLIN 100 an effective and reliable option for long-term respiratory care when prescribed under medical supervision.

How Acebrophyllin Works

Acebrophyllin is a complex of theophylline-7-acetic acid and ambroxol, which provides dual therapeutic action:

• Bronchodilator Action
  It relaxes the smooth muscles of the bronchial airways, reducing bronchospasm and improving airflow.

• Mucolytic & Secretolytic Action
  It decreases the viscosity of mucus and enhances mucociliary clearance, making it easier to expel phlegm.

Additionally, Acebrophyllin exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce airway inflammation and prevent recurrent exacerbations.
