Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Uses

Alastin-AM Tablet 10's is used in the treatment of cough and allergy-related symptoms. The detailed uses of Alastin-AM Tablet 10's are as follows:

  • Treats Cough with Mucus (Wet/Productive Cough): Ambroxol in Alastin-AM Tablet 10's helps loosen and thin phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose, making it easier to expel through coughing.
  • Relieves Allergic Respiratory Symptoms: Loratadine in Alastin-AM Tablet 10's blocks the action of histamine (a chemical responsible for causing allergic reactions) and helps relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and throat irritation.
  • Eases Breathing in Congestion: By clearing mucus and reducing allergy symptoms, Alastin-AM Tablet 10's helps improve airflow and ease breathing in conditions with chest or nasal congestion.

Medicinal Benefits

Alastin-AM Tablet 10's is a combination drug containing 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat cough. It contains Ambroxol and Loratadine. Ambroxol works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. It also breaks down the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres that make the mucous (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous, removing sputum efficiently by coughing. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained. Loratadine acts by blocking histamine's action (chemicals causing allergic symptoms) and reducing the allergic reaction. It provides quick relief from allergic symptoms like sneezing, running nose, or throat irritation.
