ACEBROPHYLLINE 200 MG SR

DESCRIPTION

Jenbro-100 Capsule (Acebrophylline 100 mg) is a medicine used in the treatment of lung conditions such as asthma (narrowing of the airways leading to breathing difficulty) and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (group of lung problems that cause blockage of airflow leading to breathing-related problems). Jenbro-100 Capsule (Acebrophylline 100 mg) works by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways and loosening the mucous. Thus, it makes breathing easier.  

INDICATION

• Asthma: Acebrophylline helps in managing asthma by relaxing the smooth muscles of the airways, reducing bronchoconstriction, and improving airflow, making it easier to breathe.

• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): It is used in the treatment of COPD, which includes conditions like chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Acebrophylline helps in reducing airway inflammation, loosening mucus, and relaxing the airways, which helps alleviate symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing.

• Bronchitis: In cases of acute or chronic bronchitis, Acebrophylline aids in reducing mucus production and inflammation, making it easier for patients to clear their airways and breathe more comfortably.

MECHANISM OF ACTION 

Jenbro-200 SR Tablet (Acebrophylline 200 mg SR) acts through several mechanisms to improve respiratory function. It contains Ambroxol, a mucolytic agent that breaks down and thins mucus in the airways, easing its clearance and reducing congestion. Additionally, Acebrophylline is metabolized to Theophylline, a bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles by increasing cyclic AMP levels, thereby alleviating bronchoconstriction. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the release of inflammatory mediators and the activity of inflammatory cells in the airways. Lastly, its antioxidant effects help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, further protecting the airways and supporting overall lung health.
