About Acocontin Tablet
Acocontin Tablet belongs to a class of drugs called 'mucolytic agents' (cough/sputum thinner) primarily used to treat Cough. It also treats acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) respiratory diseases associated with excess mucus. Acute respiratory diseases are initially associated with dry, irritating cough, hoarseness in laryngitis (swelling of the voice box) or burning sensation in the chest due to bronchitis (swelling of the lining of bronchial tubes). Then, wet mucus forms, and continuous coughing out of sputum occurs. In chronic respiratory diseases, both dry, irritating cough and wet cough with mucus occur.
Acocontin Tablet contains Ambroxol, which works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Acocontin Tablet breaks down the acid mucopolysaccharide fibres that make the mucous (sputum) thinner and less dense/viscous. Coughing efficiently removes sputum. However, the viscosity of sputum remains low for as long as treatment is maintained.
