AB-Flo-N Tablet

Product overview
AB-Flo-N Tablet is commonly prescribed for managing breathing difficulties related to asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), bronchitis, pneumonia, and certain lung complications such as those seen in cystic fibrosis. The medicine works by easing the tightness of the airway muscles and helping clear thick mucus, making breathing smoother.

It may be taken with or without food, depending on the advice of your doctor. The exact dose and duration are decided based on the patient’s health condition and response to treatment. Regular use as directed is essential for best results, as stopping too early may cause the symptoms to return or worsen. Always inform your doctor about any other medicines you are on to avoid unwanted interactions.

Possible effects
Some people may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or headache. These usually improve on their own after a short time. If the symptoms persist or become bothersome, medical advice should be sought. Alcohol consumption is best avoided during treatment since it may enhance drowsiness.

Precautions before use
It is important to share your medical history with your doctor, especially if you have any kidney or liver-related problems. Expectant mothers, those planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding women should take this medicine only under medical supervision. Self-medication should be avoided, and the medicine must not be shared with others, even if they show similar symptoms.

Uses

Benefits
In asthma, AB-Flo-N Tablet helps prevent flare-ups caused by triggers like smoke, dust, pollen, or pets. It relaxes the airway muscles, allowing air to flow more easily and reducing wheezing, cough, or breathlessness. This improves day-to-day activity levels and helps patients lead a more comfortable life.

How to take
Take the tablet whole with water, preferably at the same time daily. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Follow your doctor’s advice closely for safe and effective use.

How it works
This medicine combines two active agents — Acebrophylline and Acetylcysteine. Acebrophylline acts both as a bronchodilator and mucolytic, helping the airway muscles relax and making mucus less sticky. Acetylcysteine further breaks down thick mucus, making it easier to expel through coughing. Together, they reduce congestion and ease breathing.
