Acebrochol
Acebrochol is a pharmaceutical drug used primarily in the treatment of respiratory diseases. It is classified as a mucolytic agent, which means it helps to thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear from the respiratory tract.
Mechanism of Action
Acebrochol works by breaking down the structure of mucoproteins in the mucus, reducing its viscosity. This action facilitates the removal of mucus from the bronchi and lungs, improving breathing in patients with conditions such as chronic bronchitis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Indications
Acebrochol is indicated for use in patients with:
- Chronic bronchitis
- Asthma
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Other respiratory conditions characterized by excessive or thickened mucus
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of Acebrochol varies depending on the severity of the condition and the patient's response to the treatment. It is typically administered orally in the form of tablets or syrup. Patients are advised to follow their healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Acebrochol may include:
In rare cases, patients may experience allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling.
Precautions
Patients with a history of gastric ulcers or peptic ulcer disease should use Acebrochol with caution, as it may exacerbate these conditions. It is also important to inform the healthcare provider of any other medications being taken to avoid potential drug interactions.
Contraindications
Acebrochol is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug or any of its components. It should not be used in patients with active peptic ulcer disease.
