Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Acebrofon 100 Capsule 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Acebrofon 100 Capsule 10 contains acebrophylline (100 mg). The mechanisms of action of this medication include:

Bronchodilation: This medicine helps relax the smooth muscles in your airways—your bronchi and bronchioles—making them wider. This allows more air to move in and out of your lungs, making it easier for you to breathe.
Mucolysis: As a mucolytic agent, acebrophylline thins and loosens thick mucus in your respiratory tract. By making it easier for you to cough up this phlegm, it reduces congestion and improves airflow.
Anti-inflammation: Acebrophylline also has anti-inflammatory properties. It inhibits the release of chemicals like leukotrienes and cytokines that cause inflammation in the respiratory tract. This helps decrease swelling and narrowing of the airways, making it easier for you to breathe.
