Montelukast (10 mg) and Acebrophylline SR (200 mg)

Introduction

Montelukast (10mg) and Acebrophylline SR (200mg) is a combination medication primarily used to manage respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchitis. This dual-action tablet helps in reducing inflammation, relaxing airway muscles, and improving breathing.Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks chemicals causing inflammation and narrowing of airways. Acebrophylline is a mucolytic and bronchodilator that helps loosen mucus and widen air passages for easier breathing.

Key Benefits of Montelukast (10mg) & Acebrophylline SR (200mg) Tablet

✔ Relieves Asthma & COPD Symptoms – Reduces wheezing, coughing, and breathlessness.
✔ Reduces Airway Inflammation – Montelukast prevents swelling in the respiratory tract.
✔ Loosens Mucus & Improves Breathing – Acebrophylline helps clear mucus from the lungs.
✔ Long-Lasting Relief – The sustained-release (SR) formula ensures prolonged action.
✔ Prevents Asthma Attacks – Especially useful for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.

How Does It Work?

• Montelukast (10mg) blocks leukotrienes, chemicals that cause inflammation, swelling, and tightening of airways. This helps prevent asthma attacks and allergic reactions.

Together, they provide dual-action relief—reducing inflammation while improving airflow.
