How Does It Work?
The first salt is Acebrophylline. Acebrophylline loosens our phlegm and helps the patient to cough out.The second salt in combination is Montelukast Sodium. It blocks leukotriene. Leukotriene is a chemical produced in the lungs. It causes swelling and enhances the production of mucus. By blocking the action of leukotriene, the salt Montelukast helps to reduce symptoms of inflammation, mucus production, and smooth airways. Therefore, Montelukast is used for the management of symptoms associated with asthma and helps to relieve common allergy symptoms like congestion, sneezing, and symptoms of running nose.
