What is Acebrophyllin?

Acebrophyllin is a bronchodilator and mucolytic agent. It combines ambroxol and theophylline-7-acetic acid, offering dual benefits of bronchodilation and mucus clearance. By relaxing the bronchial muscles and reducing mucus viscosity, Acebrophyllin helps improve airflow and ease breathing in patients with obstructive airway diseases.

Uses of S PHYLLIN SR 200

Acebrophyllin 200mg SR is primarily used for:

• Asthma Management: Helps in preventing and controlling asthma symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Alleviates symptoms of COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, by improving lung function and reducing exacerbations.
• Bronchitis: Effective in treating acute and chronic bronchitis by reducing inflammation and improving mucus clearance.

Mechanism of Action

Acebrophyllin works through a multi-faceted mechanism:

1. Bronchodilation: It relaxes the smooth muscles in the airways by inhibiting phosphodiesterase (PDE) and increasing cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels, leading to bronchodilation and improved airflow.
2. Mucolytic Activity: Ambroxol, a component of Acebrophyllin, breaks down mucus, making it easier to expel from the respiratory tract.
3. Anti-inflammatory Effects: It reduces inflammation in the airways, minimizing swelling and irritation.
4. Antioxidant Properties: Acebrophyllin exhibits antioxidant activity, protecting the respiratory tissues from damage caused by free radicals.
