Description
Acebrophylline, Terbutaline Sulphate & Guaiphenesin Syrup: Acebrophylline, Guaifenesin and Terbutaline are medicines that fall under the category known as ‘expectorants’. These are mainly used to treat coughs that involve mucus, which is often called a chesty cough. Coughing, whether it is dry or productive, is the body’s way of removing irritants such as allergens, mucus, or smoke from the airways. This helps protect the lungs and prevent infections.
There are two types of coughs: a dry cough and a chesty cough. A dry cough feels tickly. Does not bring up any thick or sticky mucus. On the other hand, a chesty cough, also known as a wet cough, involves producing mucus or sputum. This mucus helps to clear the airways and makes breathing easier.
Medical Benefits:
- Acebrophylline is related to the category of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that aid by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose.
- Guaifenesin is related to the category of expectorants that aid by enhancing the volume of fluid in the airways, decreasing the stickiness of mucus, and helping to remove it from the airways.
- Terbutaline is related to the class of bronchodilators that relax muscles and widen the airways.
