About Astharil-AS Syrup

AMBROXOL+SALBUTAMOL is a respiratory combination medication primarily used to treat cough associated with respiratory disorders like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Asthma is a breathing problem in which airways narrow, swell, and produce extra mucus, leading to difficulty breathing. COPD is a group of lung diseases with emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes). Coughing occurs as a reflex action in the throat when there is mucus or any other foreign irritant in it.

Medicinal Benefits of Astharil-AS Syrup

AMBROXOL+SALBUTAMOL is a combination of two medicines: Salbutamol and Ambroxol. Salbutamol is a bronchodilator that works by widening and relaxing the airways (bronchi) of the lungs. Ambroxol is an expectorant (relieves congestion) and mucolytic agent (dilutes viscous cough/mucus) that loosens the mucus to make the breathing easier. AMBROXOL+SALBUTAMOL is used to treat cough associated with respiratory disorders like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). AMBROXOL+SALBUTAMOL effectively treats COPD like emphysema (shortness of breath) and chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes).
