Acebrophylline (100mg), Acetylcysteine (600mg) """"

Aug 18, 2023

Introduction

S PHYLLIN N is a powerful combination medicine formulated with Acebrophylline 100 mg and Acetylcysteine 600 mg. It is primarily used to treat chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), bronchial asthma, bronchitis, and other lung conditions associated with excessive mucus and inflammation.

This combination offers a dual mechanism of action: Acebrophylline acts as a bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory, while Acetylcysteine works as a mucolytic to thin and clear mucus. Together, they help in relieving symptoms like productive cough, breathlessness, chest congestion, and wheezing.

  • Acetylcysteine 600 mg

  • Brand Name: S PHYLLIN N

What is Acebrophylline?

Acebrophylline is a xanthine derivative and anti-inflammatory agent. It:

  • Relaxes the bronchial muscles (bronchodilator effect)

  • Reduces inflammation in the airways

  • Inhibits the secretion of mucus

  • Improves oxygen flow to the lungs

It is commonly used in conditions like asthma, COPD, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.

What is Acetylcysteine?

Acetylcysteine is a mucolytic agent. It:

  • Breaks down the thick and sticky mucus in the airways

  • Makes it easier to cough up phlegm

  • Helps relieve congestion in the lungs

  • Offers antioxidant properties by restoring glutathione levels

It is effective in treating chronic respiratory illnesses, productive cough, and post-infectious bronchial secretions.
