About ACEBROPHYLLINE+GUAIFENESIN+TERBUTALINE
ACEBROPHYLLINE+GUAIFENESIN+TERBUTALINE belongs to the class of medicines called ‘expectorants’ primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus, called chesty cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn’t produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.
ACEBROPHYLLINE+GUAIFENESIN+TERBUTALINE is a combination of three medicines: Acebrophylline, Guaifenesin, and Terbutaline. Acebrophylline is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from airways. Terbutaline belongs to the class of bronchodilators that relaxes muscles and widens the airways.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Chesty Cough: Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from the airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus, and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, it indicates you may have allergies or minor infections in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
